Course overview

In this clinical placement, students will integrate occupational therapy theoretical knowledge with practical skills. The focus of this placement is the development of core occupational therapy skills and the demonstration of abilities in data gathering, intervention/ program planning, implementation and evaluation, recording and reporting. Practicing these skills in a sensitive, ethical and professional manner will also be required. Students are expected to describe and apply reasoning processes, including relevant conceptual and professional practice theories and frameworks, and demonstrate effective communication and self-management skills. Professional accreditation requires a minimum level of clinical exposure, therefore attendance at professional placements will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as an Occupational Therapist.
