OT 574 Transformation through Human Occupation: Theory in Adult & Geriatric Physical Disabilities
This course is designed for graduate occupational therapy students and will support development of clinical skills pertaining to evaluation, treatment planning and implementation, and documentation. This course is the second in a series of three that are scaffolded by level of complexity. The problem-based and team-based learning methods will be utilized to conduct classroom activities in this course. Students will be presented with clinical case studies prompting consideration of scientific evidence in relation to areas of occupation, client factors, performance skills, performance patterns, contexts/environments, and activity demands as well as culture, spirituality, and the meaning of occupations will also be considered. Case studies and assignments will encourage students to adopt a holistic view of clients and their caregivers during evaluation and treatment planning, and communication skills required to work on an interprofessional healthcare team. Transformation through Human Occupation: Theory in Adult & Geriatric Physical Disabilities will place specific emphasis on theory utilized with adult and geriatric clients through lecture and team-based learning.
