OCCP2105: Practice Education 1
2025 unit information
This practice education unit provides students with the opportunity to build on prior practice learning opportunities in the first year of the course. This unit continues the focus on professional development, ensuring students have the foundational competencies required for Year 3 practice education units. The primary focus of this unit is to support students' capacity to actively engage in aspects of the occupational therapy process for an assigned caseload through participation in a simulated practice education placement. Students will apply professional reasoning, understanding how these metacognitive skills support their implementation of the occupational therapy process, and further develop their use of professional and therapeutic communication and ultimately teamwork. Throughout their simulated practice education placement students will develop their capacity to process and use feedback in their practical learning, which they will demonstrate through assessment.
