Content
In this practicum unit, students will continue to develop their competence as practitioners in occupational therapy. This unit builds on and extends competency development from earlier professional practice education experiences, enabling students to: apply occupational therapy reasoning processes to a range of practice situations, attain particular skills according to OT Australia professional competency requirements, develop management skills related to practice, demonstrate effective professional communication skills, reflect on learning outcomes for their studies, and practice with increasing autonomy. Students will learn to self-evaluate and discuss their individual professional capabilities according to OT Australia accreditation, be professionally accountable, and articulate professional and personal frames of reference related to occupational therapy practice. Students will observe and critique instances of interprofessional collaborative practice during their professional practice education experience. Students’ professional practice education experience will take place in a variety of agencies or organisations within the health and related areas. Seminars will be integral to assist students with the development of appropriate competencies and management skills to prepare for their professional practice education experience.
