The UofA Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine Collaborative for Scholarship in Clinical Education (CSCE) is offering the following clinical educator workshop:

This full-day workshop is intended for clinical educators (CEs) who are interested in working with rehabilitation students in variety of practice settings. The morning will provide a thorough orientation to student supervision and evaluation including placement structure, clinical teaching strategies for successful placements, and discipline-specific information. In the afternoon, participants will explore and develop skills regarding the provision of constructive feedback and the facilitation of student reflection and professional growth.

OCCTH 528 Final Placements & OCCTH 503 Introductory Fieldwork Placements

A huge THANK YOU to all of you who supervised a Level 3b student during their OCCTH 528 placements in September & October!

Those final placements are over and a new crop of OTs have now joined our ranks. They are starting to find employment and preparing for the NOTCExam mid-month. Exciting times for each of them!

Congratulations, graduands!

This week more than 120 Year One OT students are completing their one-week OCCTH 503 Introductory Fieldwork Placements at sites around Alberta and Saskatchewan.

We really appreciate all the clinicians who are sharing their practices and mentoring these learners early in their MScOT program!
