Practical Steps and Collegiality in the Building of Podiatry Curricula to Meet Accreditation and Health Sector Employability Demands
Raspovic, Anita; Pannan, Linda
Journal of Teaching and Learning for Graduate Employability, v4 n1 p58-72 2013
Historically, mixed arrangements have been in place between educational institutions and podiatrist registration bodies to evaluate the capacity of courses to adequately prepare new graduates for clinical practice. The national scheme for the registration of health practitioners introduced in 2010, followed by a national system for accreditation of respective courses, has however seen significant legislative and policy change to requirements for evidencing effectiveness of podiatry courses. In addition, there has been a local and international change in emphasis by stakeholders in higher education, government, professional regulation, quality assurance and employment, towards measureable, explicit student learning outcomes. Curricula initiatives at La Trobe University, including large scale systematic review and redesign of all courses commencing in 2005 within the Faculty of Health Sciences, and a subsequent university wide 'Design for Learning' project (La Trobe University, 2009), provided a timely platform for podiatry staff to respond to critical emerging imperatives for increased program transparency and accountability.
