Intermediate examinations in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech therapy and podiatry in the State-approved training of Office Health Academy in the vest held school midterm exams at the end of the first half year therefore. Twelve aspiring therapists were awarded with diplomas and valuable prizes. This Health Academy in the vest explains Dr. Margret Stromberg of the head of the Office: already during the practical training stages the future therapists from its handling assume a great responsibility with patients. You are confronted with the increasing demands of the health care system so early close. This requires extensive knowledge in theory and practice. It’s not a threat to fail. The test should be no threat to fail.
Rather, it is a self test to realistically assess the own level of performance. Such a step is also necessary, because there is no prior staff in the training and examination regulations of the therapeutic professions. In all therapeutic training finally decides the State examination at the end about success or failure. Then, it’s too late for a course correction. It is important that you precisely in advance at any time can judge, if one has accumulated sufficient knowledge or whether you have to work on the own, perhaps previously inadequately acquired learning technique. Such a midterm can there sometimes clear a right motivation boost.
Of course, the teachers also to the problem of testing fears know. To mitigate the concern before the midterm and to reward, at the same time the good performances, the Office – has now for the first time suspended Health Academy to prizes for the best three specimens of a course. This time twelve ladies placed themselves for the three best graduates in physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and Podiatry. The male student had apparently charming left prefers the ladies or perhaps but not so thoroughly learned? As prices there book vouchers to the value of each 75.00 50.00 EUR, respectively. Even though our students know that they don’t learn for school but for their future patients, has shown that the midterm exams are a further incentive to learn even more intensively.
