This year 2 15 credit module will focus on preparing you, the occupational therapy student, for being ready for employment in occupational therapy practice. Following critical evaluation of progress using the Career Development Framework (RCOT, 2017), in collaboration with a University tutor, you will develop a learning contract that addresses your selected individual learning outcomes to be achieved within this module.
You will generate, critically evaluate and reflect on knowledge and skill development and present appropriate evidence from a completed personal continual professional development (CPD) e-portfolio.
This module will incorporate a mixed style of learning and teaching strategies including tutor facilitated tutorials, synchronous seminars, self-directed study and opportunities for developing skills through experiential learning, prior to and during practice placement. You will undertake an 8 week elective Practice Placement (PP4) in a placement environment of your choice.
This module is assessed by means of two components:
1. A 2,000 written synthesis and reflection on the achievement of the negotiated learning outcomes
2. An eight week elective practice placement.
Both components of assessment must be passed. Component 1 must be passed at 50%.
The external examiner for this module is to be confirmed.
