The MOT Program Guide: What does it mean for fieldwork educators?

The Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program recently revised the MOT Program Guide (2018). The MOT Program Guide provides an overview of various aspects of the MOT Program, including the Professional Conceptual Framework (PCF) and Educational Conceptual Framework (ECF). Yes, more acronyms to add to our OT repertoire! The MOT Program Guide also frames and provides direction for all components of the MOT program.

As fieldwork educators, you play a vital role in sharing your knowledge and skills and providing the “real world” context to help your students apply these concepts in practice.

For a full description, here is a link to the MOT Program Guide on our webpage.  I should warn you though that this document is “jam-packed” with a lot of information. We recognize that as busy clinicians, it may seem like a daunting read, so our plan is to provide you with a condensed “reader’s digest” version of the MOT Program Guide. 

"Stay tuned" for a series of posts highlighting key elements of the guide and some quick tips for making links to fieldwork!  Leanne Leclair, OT Department Head & Associate Professor, will be contributing to these posts as a “guest blogger”.
