OCCU 6222

The course consists of eight weeks of full-time fieldwork learning under the supervision of one or more occupational therapists who provide periodic or occasional coaching, within Canada or internationally, or with off-site occupational therapy preceptors in Atlantic Canada. During this final fieldwork learning experience, with minimal guidance from preceptors, students will gain experience in implementing selected occupational therapy practice processes and theoretical models in a range of urban, rural, or remote locations. Students become independent in working with individual, groups, and organizational clients, and will develop a clear professional identity and learn to describe and justify professional reasoning through the process of occupational therapy practice. By completion of this course, students will demonstrate clinical confidence and consistency in making sound professional decisions and judgments in preparation for entering professional practice.
