2 Integration OT Competences: Outplacement 1 ECTS credits: 12 Course Unit Code: 23ERG1070 Coordinator:Johan Lemmens/Sylvia Depoortere Period: Autumn Content In this educational part the student learns to develop cliënt-orientated activities: planning, organizing, executing and evaluating the professional-oriented occupational therapy acting. The professional- and the derived educational profile are the steering factors. The aim is that the student will be able to act professionally independent at the end of the period, within a specific professional context. At the end of his clinical placement the student is able to situate himself and create a profile for himself as an occupational therapist within the health care and public welfare of the country in which he s staying. The student is brought into contact with a real therapeutic situation. During this clinical process the student is coached by a practical training supervisor. A lot of attention is paid to integration of the practice and the theory. This happens by means of the systematic draw up of a training report. The link between own training experiences and the given theory is deepened at meetings, together with fellow students, in small education groups accompanied by a tutor (teacher/occupational therapist). In this meetings attention is given mainly to ethical and deontological problems which can occur. The student learns to analyse and formulate these problems thoroughly. Out of a critical analysis he also learns to formulate solutions. Study materials Guidelines provided by PXL occupational therapy in a booklet, including description of the expected competences, the assignments, deadlines and grade system. Recommended study materials Depending on the goals for the clientgroup, the student has to gather information out of his own theoretical knowledge basis and the courses he/she already passed. He/she also has to search for more professional information on the internet and on databases provided by PXL. Teaching organisation Problem based learning method: Clinical training, lecture, study visits, tutorial groups, project work and self-study Prerequisites Theoretical and practical insight in the systematic occupational therapy acting concerning children, adults and elderly. Basic insights of occupational therapy concerning development disorders, physical rehabilitation, mental health care and specific care for elderly.
