In order to facilitate future implementation of a modified version of the ISP model, the Community Rehabilitation Student Workbook was developed to assist service providers to facilitate interdisciplinary learning opportunities for allied health and nursing students who undertake clinical placement in a Community Rehabilitation setting. It is envisioned that this resource will encourage and enable Community Rehabilitation competencies to be an ongoing component of allied health and nursing student placements.
Community Rehabilitation Workforce Project Student Workbook
The MAGPIE is based upon the key learning task undertaken by students who participated in the Interdisciplinary Student Placement in Community Rehabilitation (ISP) offered and supported by CRWP project officers from June 2005 until June 2008.
The key learning task was the presentation of a comprehensive Case Study based on a CR client from the host service, and all other ISP learning tasks were related to this. In developing their case studies, students of all disciplines were required to follow the same interdisciplinary process, based around the ICF, regardless of their host service model.
CRWP project officers have subsequently developed the MAGPIE: and interdisciplinary CR or case management process, which describes the CR process students were required to use in developing their case studies. MAGPIE draws on existing descriptions of processes articulated in the rehabilitation and nursing literature (Wade 2005; Kozier 2004).
