OCCTH 4004 - Occupational Therapy Clinical Practice C

In this placement course, students will consolidate and develop their skills to become graduate entry level practitioners. Students will review their learning needs upon considering previous professional practice experiences, interests and future goals. Students will formulate their needs into a learning contract that will be reviewed / revised with the Professional Practice Educator during placement. The placement provides the opportunity to further develop, integrate or enhance clinical/ professional skills with the supervision of an occupational therapist, prior to graduation. Placement structure, including number of placements, placement length and placement dates will vary depending on whether students are an industry or research honours student and also on individual placement providers. Professional accreditation requires a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical exposure. Attendance at professional placements will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as an Occupational Therapist.
