• Learning objectives:
  • Understand and apply occupational therapy processes grounded in theory during the clinical rotation.
  • Assess and analyse clients' occupational performance.
  • Define occupation-based and health-promoting goals in collaboration with the clients.
  • Plan, carry out, and evaluate relevant occupational therapy interventions.
  • Reflect on ethical choices when working with clients, their relatives/family, and co-workers.
  • Demonstrate an appropriate approach in the process towards establishing a professional identity.
  • Reflect, in various ways, upon differences and similarities in the work of the occupational therapist in Sweden as compared to the work of the occupational therapist in the home country as well as in relation to global health.

Content

The course consists of clinical education in a municipal and/or hospital-based occupational therapy setting. It comprises compulsory 32 study hours per week in a setting that has an agreement with the occupational therapy programme. The remaining 8 hours per week are allocated for literature studies and preparations.

Teaching Methods

The teaching is based on a problem-oriented and collaborative approach to learning, in which the tasks provide opportunities for the student to take active responsibility for the learning.

Examination

The student will work on the learning objectives, which are what the student will be assessed upon. The supervisor will assess the students' progress in relation to the learning objectives during the clinical education, and the examiner at the occupational therapy programme decides the final grade based on the supervisor's assessment. The grading scale used is Pass/Fail, which can be converted into another scale (e.g., A-F) should it be required by the partner university.

Other Directives

The course will be evaluated in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board of Education.
