OCCP5252: Professional Practice Education II
2025 unit information
An 8 week fieldwork placement 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 appropriate to the placement setting. As members of different interdisciplinary teams, students will have opportunities to engage in formal and informal inter-professional learning. This unit enables students to continue to build on learning gained throughout the first year MOT program, through the participation in supervised full-time placement in a professional service setting.
