This year 1 15 credit module introduces you to the occupational therapy process. You will begin to develop clinical reasoning skills when working with people with a range of medical conditions, pathologies, social and cultural challenges. You will learn about occupational therapy models of practice, assessment strategies and develop skills in goal-setting.
The module involves keynote lectures, problem-based learning seminar groups where you will develop the required knowledge and skills, particularly in assessment and goal-setting in occupational therapy.
The module is assessed via submission of a 3,000 word written assessment. You will be provided with a choice of case studies, and are expected to develop a fully justified intervention plan, that shows clinical reasoning based on critical application of occupational therapy theory and critical analysis of evidence.
