Content

The subject consists of the following activities:

  1. Clinical practice stay in an occupational therapy center/service (210 hours)
  2. Participation in follow-up tutoring at the practice center
  3. Reflection on the specific environment of occupational therapy: it is about developing/drafting a personal reflection on what are the characteristics and differential features of the occupational therapy intervention in the specific area in which the practical stay takes place and in the specific stage of the users' life cycle.
  4. Clinical case:clinical history, models and frames of reference used, occupational profile, assessments, strengths and difficulties, objectives, intervention, evolution and personal reflection.
  5. Oral presentation of the clinical case: the clinical case worked on will have to be explained to the rest of the class and to the UVic tutors. To do this, you will have 10 minutes for the exhibition and another 5 minutes to answer questions, doubts, etc. colleagues and teachers.

Evaluation

According to the academic regulations for UVic-UCC degrees, there will only be one official call that will cover two different evaluation periods:

ordinary period

The evaluation of the subject will be continued throughout its course. To pass it, it will be essential to have obtained a grade equal to or higher than 5, both in the evaluation of the tutor of the center and in the evaluation of the tutor of the UVic (reflection, clinical case and oral presentation of the case).

  • Evaluation of the professional/tutor of the center where the internship takes place: 50%. (not recoverable)
  • Follow-up of the work done: 20% of the final mark of the course. 10% corresponds to the double reflection of the scope and the remaining 10% to the presentation of the clinical case. (recoverable)
  • Completion of required work or projects: 30% of the final mark of the subject corresponding to the written work of the clinical case. (recoverable)

To pass the subject, it is essential to have obtained a grade equal to or higher than 5 both in the evaluation of the internship tutor and in the evaluation of the UVic tutor.

The final mark of the subject is the result of the weighting of the marks obtained in each of the parts. The subject is passed if a grade equal to or higher than 5 is obtained.

Complementary evaluation period

The student who does not pass some of the activities considered recoverable, will be able to recover them during this period. The evaluation of this second period cannot account for more than 50% of the final mark of the subject.

In case of not passing the UVic tutor's assessment, the student will have to prepare an assignment indicated by the tutor himself. In this case, the maximum mark will be 5, in case of passing the assessment. If it is not passed, the student will have to repeat the practical period.

In the case of not passing the assessment of the professional/tutor of the internship center, the student will have to repeat the internship period. (The entire period of internship, with the corresponding assignments.)
