Description[edit | edit source]

Welcome to University College Dublin's final year project.  A group of students were asked to research job opportunities for new graduates and to present them in a novel, useful and professional manner.  This group felt that Physiopedia was the perfect way to do this. This project was part of the coursework for the final year Physiotherapy Practice module. It is a problem based learning module aimed at consolidating the professional development of physiotherapists.

Project Instructions[edit | edit source]

Students were shown a conversation between a final year physiotherapy student and a new graduate about job opportunities. Students were then invited to listen to a Pod Cast from an Irish radio programme, which featured a recent UCD graduate who was struggling to find work. They were also given the opportunity to attend a question and answer session with a panel of recent graduates and to discuss their experiences since graduating with them.

Following that, students were asked to design a resource that would be useful and accessible to their colleagues exploring available options post graduation. The resource could be presented through any desired media.

Project Objectives[edit | edit source]

  • To produce a novel and engaging resource
  • To produce a resource that would be accessible and attractive to the audience at which it is aimed i.e. new graduate physiotherapists
  • To present useful, contemporary information that would be valuable to physiotherapy colleagues
