ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Occupational Therapy Department hosts Fieldwork Educator Workshop
The ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Occupational Therapy Department hosted The (AOTA) Fieldwork Educator Workshop on its Portland Campus, May 2 –3, 2015.
This conference provides participants with a deeper understanding of roles, learning theory and supervision models. Attendees are engaged with four modules relating to administration, education, supervision and evaluation to help support best practice in fieldwork education.
In alignment with the conference, ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ also hosted the (FWECP) in May. This two-day workshop is designed for professionals in the field who are involved in fieldwork rotations.
The course is designed to review everything about fieldwork education from communication and scheduling, to grading and managing challenging situations. At its conclusion, participants receive a certification from AOTA in addition to 15 contact hours of continuing education.
Although the certification is not mandatory, it demonstrates to academic programs a commitment to education, and a passion for working with OT students. ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ is pleased to have offered this course for the second time since 2013.
