OCCTH 4004 - Occupational Therapy Clinical Practice C

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2025

In this placement course, students will consolidate and develop their skills to become graduate entry level practitioners. Students will review their learning needs upon considering previous professional practice experiences, interests and future goals. Students will formulate their needs into a learning contract that will be reviewed / revised with the Professional Practice Educator during placement. The placement provides the opportunity to further develop, integrate or enhance clinical/ professional skills with the supervision of an occupational therapist, prior to graduation. Placement structure, including number of placements, placement length and placement dates will vary depending on whether students are an industry or research honours student and also on individual placement providers. Professional accreditation requires a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical exposure. Attendance at professional placements will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as an Occupational Therapist.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
