Unit Overview

Description

This unit involves Work Integrated Learning (e.g., industry placements) in a Clinical Exercise Physiology professional setting. This is completed under the supervision of an academic staff member or designate, who also holds the required industry certification and experience. Students will undertake WIL with industry based hosts, and based on their individual course plans. WIL will require face-to-face attendance with placements varying in length and weekly commitment.
