Final Weeks of OCCTH 526 & Updated OT Fieldwork Handbook

It's the final 2 weeks of OCCTH 526 Level 2 placements for our Y2 students.

Thanks again to all of you who are working with and alongside these students to support their growth and development!

The newest revised version of our UofA OT Fieldwork Handbook is now available on the 'clinical education' pages and drop down menu on our department's website.

This comprehensive resource provides clinical educators (preceptors) and students access to all of the policies and procedures related to fieldwork.

As ever, let the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education (ACCE) or one of the fieldwork team members know if you have any questions re: the hosting, supervision and/or evaluation of our MScOT students.
