The Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Osteopathy) provides a comprehensive foundation in osteopathic principles and biomedical sciences. This program equips you with in-depth understanding of human anatomy and physiology, focusing particularly on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems.
The curriculum covers human movement and function, physical examination techniques, common musculoskeletal disorders throughout life stages, and exercise/rehabilitation principles. Through realistic clinical simulations, you'll gain hands-on practice with these methods. Your final semester features a capstone project that enhances your skills in collecting and analyzing health data, using clinical judgment to formulate diagnostic hypotheses. This represents the pinnacle of your biomedical and osteopathic education.Following the core competencies developed in this bachelor's program, you'll be prepared to advance to clinical training in the Master of Clinical Osteopathy.A key component involves work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. You'll participate in WIL at the RMIT Health Clinic and other professional settings, where simulated clinical environments mirror actual workplaces in their operations, equipment, and procedures. These experiences expose you to diverse clinical situations while receiving performance evaluations and professional feedback from practicing clinicians.
You must have successfully completed a qualification recognised by RMIT as equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) with a minimum average of 65%.
