•         Improve the quality of knowledge and skills of Healthcare professionals practicing clinical aesthetics

Although various  workshops, short courses and in-house training  are available on specific/selected topics related to clinical aesthetics, there is, at present, only a few accredited formal, complete, integrated programs that addresses the matter of clinical aesthetics in an integrated, complete manner.

•  Collecting naturally-occurring evidence, e.g., case studies.

•  Assignments which collectively provide assessment opportunities of a number of Exit Level Outcomes.

•  As part of self-study, various integrated work related projects, which address both theoretical and practical assessment, must be completed.

 

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT is ensured through the utilization of a range of assessment methods and tools that support each other to assess total competence.

Formative assessment will take place on a continuous basis in a simulated, contextual environment during the execution of the clinical case studies. These case study tasks are both an important learning method and the primary source of evidence of the learner's competence.

 

Formative Assessment Methods include the following:

•  Written assignments, e.g. review questions on theory.

•  Practical demonstration to learners relevant to specific aesthetic procedures and techniques.

•  Case studies that integrate a variety of learning outcome objectives.
