Course overview

In this final year course, students will expand and deepen foundational knowledge and skills required to manage complex occupational performance and participation issues within contemporary and/or emerging occupational therapy practice. Learning will focus on readiness to practice and students will be taught how to transform foundational knowledge to generate advanced practice, reflect upon complex information related to client management, incorporate real world practice issues relevant to the chosen occupational practice area, and develop relevant practice skills. In preparation for professional practice upon graduation, students will extend their ability to articulate the relationship between occupation, health and wellbeing as a core threshold concept for occupational therapy within the context of complex, contemporary practice scenarios.

Course learning outcomes

  • Evaluate and apply occupational therapy conceptual and practice models to guide practice, including working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
  • Critically reflect on professional identity, growth and readiness to enter the profession.
  • Use professional reasoning and reflective practice to identify and implement evidence-based goals and strategies to facilitate transition to the workforce and continue personal and professional growth.
  • Review and apply ethical frameworks in considering professional and culturally responsive occupational therapy practice.
