Academic Year: 2024-2025

Students explore the role of the occupational therapist assistant and physiotherapist assistant in professional practice by examining legislative material and ethical behavioural principles, including issues of equity, diversity, and inclusivity. Students develop the ability to reflect on their own values and beliefs and how these could impact client care, gaining the knowledge, skills, and abilities to engage in reflective practice. Through classroom learning, group activities, self-reflection, and a final integrative learning experience, students synthesize the clinical knowledge gained throughout the four semesters of the program along with the material presented in this course to explore the roles and responsibilities of the occupational therapist assistant and physiotherapist assistant.
