Teaching Resource for Preceptors

We are in the early days of OCCTH 527 (Level 3a) placements so it is an appropriate time to share this online free access article (from the CAOT OT Now archive) re:

A Teaching Resource for Preceptors of Occupational Therapy Students (D’Cunha Sequeira, 2011)

This article provides ideas for teaching/learning activities associated with each of the fieldwork competencies that are applicable at every level of fieldwork and across practice contexts.

Thank you for mentoring our Level 3a OT students in your practice settings across Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as other Canadian provinces, and as far away as Scotland, Santa Barbara and Australia!

OCCTH 525 Wraps Up & OCCTH 527 Begins

It's such a busy time of year for our UofA fieldwork program, despite the beginning of summer holidays for so many!

We'd like to offer enormous THANKS to all the OTs who just finished providing fieldwork supervision to our Year 1 students in recent weeks during OCCTH 525 (Level 1)!

And also THANKS to the OTs who have started providing fieldwork supervision to our Year 2 students for OCCTH 527 (Level 3a) in the weeks ahead!

Here are a small selection of the 'postcards' from the field that students sent in to show us where they were and what they were doing at sites across Alberta and Saskatchewan:

Welcome to summer, everyone!
