Halloween Antics & Year 3 Students in the Home Stretch

October is over and November is upon us!

It was a necessarily subdued Halloween celebration around Corbett Hall here in Edmonton but a number of students and staff still dressed up, including our hard-working but fun-loving FRM Clinical Education Administration staff ...

Then this encouraging coach (Brett Y1) showed up at my office door ...

Before joining his team (Y1 classmates) in front of Corbett Hall ...

And at our FRM Calgary satellite campus the faculty/staff coordinated yet another impressive team effort ...


FYI Inside Out is a fun, and surprisingly informative, resource that is often referenced during our in-class MScOT discussions re: therapeutic use of self! And Ted Lasso ... well, it's just a lovely show.

OCCTH 528 begins this month with our Year 3 students in the 'home stretch' for the final placement within their pandemic-extended MScOT program. They are excited to be with you 'in the field' across AB and SK and complete this final educational step toward becoming an OT! 

THANK YOU for supporting their learning!
