Overview

Using examples drawn directly from practice, students apply rehabilitation and evaluation theory and research evidence, to propose and evaluate innovations or changes in rehabilitation service delivery.

REHB 710 equips students with the essential skills for effective service, evaluation, design, and monitoring in rehabilitation settings. Students will scope a project of their choice, collect, analyse and report project information and develop their skills in leading project teams. Learn to design and co-design and evaluations that consider te ao Māori and other worldviews alongside a diverse group of learners. Students will complete this course with a template for a locally relevant high quality service evaluation. Students regularly submit projects to peer reviewed conferences and journals and within career promotion portfolios.
