This course will prepare the student to become a skilled practitioner who supports the Registered Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist in the provision of assigned services. Through participation in fieldwork placement, and reflection activities, the student will consolidate prior learning as well as acquire new knowledge and skills in the field. Opportunities will be provided in fieldwork placement for direct and indirect patient care skills and to develop high standards of professional behaviour. Students will begin to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to enhance their knowledge and clinical competence. A weekly seminar, facilitated by a registered OT or PT will provide reflective activities to promote a deeper understanding of the role of the OTA & PTA within the inter-professional health care team.
