Course overview
In this course students will further develop foundational concepts related to occupation through academic learning and placement within a community agency. Students will participate in community service with a diverse population, while developing pre-professional knowledge of occupation, community diversity, social participation, experiential learning and the impact of socioeconomic and environmental factors on participation. Service in the community will enable students to build skills in engaging with community stakeholders, critical reflection and professional behaviour. These concepts and skills will provide a foundation for future professional practice in a diverse and changing local and global communities. Professional accreditation requires a minimum level of clinical exposure. Student attendance at professional placements will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as an Occupational Therapist.
