About this title

Synopsis

Fieldwork provides a valuable opportunity in occupational therapy to mentor and learn from students, promote the profession and contribute to its growth, document best practices, and increase professional development. This comprehensive, user-friendly manual provides the latest information, policies, and concepts affecting occupational therapy fieldwork education today. Each section begins with an introduction that succinctly ties together the knowledge presented. Experienced practitioners will find the updated materials useful for resolving challenging fieldwork situations. Those taking a student for the first time will see the big picture of preparing the profession's next practitioners. Clinical department managers and student coordinators will learn how to prepare a student fieldwork manual for clinical sites and educate staff about recent changes in education. Academic fieldwork coordinators, whose job it is to pull the entire fieldwork experience together and make it work, will find new ideas to try and resources to share with colleagues. Newly appointed or hired academic fieldwork coordinators can use this guide to quickly get up to speed. Includes a flash drive with sample fieldwork and orientation manuals.
