Event Description
- Full Description:
- Accrediting bodies are an important part of programs in the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences (HMNS). Aligning degree outcomes with accreditation processes ensures that HMNS graduates are equipped with strong applied and professional practice skills. At HMNS, Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) provides accreditation for sport and exercise science and exercise physiology degrees. The ESSA accreditation process highlights the often-complex relationship between bio-scientific and socio-cultural critique. In this symposium, we will consider how social and cultural approaches contribute to undergraduates’ development into critical and innovative health professionals who are able to adapt their knowledge to treat diverse clients and patients.
This event, hosted by the Centre for Sport and Society (CSS), brings together teachers and researchers from a variety of sociocultural fields, including history, cultural studies, sociology, pedagogy, sports coaching, sports psychology, and medical humanities. Speakers include scientists and practitioners who recognise the importance of sociocultural thinking in allied health higher education, including exercise physiology, sport science, medicine, physiotherapy, and nursing. The goal of this symposium is to work collaboratively toward a written statement that highlights to accrediting bodies two key points:
- The importance of sociocultural knowledge in developing well rounded and competent allied health professionals
- The impact of the current professional accreditation process on the ability of HMNS to imbue graduates with this knowledge
The CSS welcomes attendees interested in the role of accreditation in higher education degrees for allied health professions.
