OCCP5240: Implementing Skills in OT Prof Practice
2026 unit information
An extended fieldwork placement and intensive on-campus study provides students with the opportunity to consolidate, apply, and further develop their knowledge of occupational therapy practice, with a focus on graduate capabilities. Enabling participation lies at the core of all occupational therapy practice and students will have the opportunity to implement, monitor, and evaluate a range of strategies for an agreed caseload. This unit enables students to continue to build on learning gained through from previous placement units through the participation in a eight-week, supervised 40hr/week placement in a professional service setting.
