Inherent requirements - Doctor of Physiotherapy

Your ability to recognise and moderate your behaviour and respond in ways that are appropriate in a diverse range of environments.

Subdomains: Self-reflection, Accountability and Adaptability.

How is behavioural insight important in this course?

You will be required to:

• Have the self-awareness and reflection skills required to monitor your own physical and mental health, recognise when you may need help or support and proactively seek it when required. For example, being open to feedback from others when they have observed changes in your health.
• Demonstrate professional behaviour when engaging with individuals in the clinical setting. For example, being receptive and responding appropriately to constructive feedback.
• Have the physical and mental endurance to perform multiple tasks in an assigned timeframe. For example, management of a number of patients over a negotiated time frame while on clinical placement.
• Recognise, interpret and respond appropriately to non-verbal and clinical cues which can change quickly and often in a health care setting. For example, be able to adapt behaviour, communication or approach if assessment or treatment is causing unnecessary pain or distress.
