Definition of supervised clinical training
Supervision refers to the process of overseeing the student’s implementation of an OT process, where the supervisor is responsible for the quality of the student’s practice and for the safety of the recipient of occupational therapy. It is likely that supervision will initially include (a) discussion with the student; (b) review of the student’s intervention plans and records; and (c) observation of the student’s actions.
The amount and frequency of supervision will progress from close on-site supervision to independent practice as students progress through the program. The level of supervision will also vary with students’ knowledge base, familiarity with the practice setting and their learning needs; the contexts of practice – including the presence or absence of other health professions; the complexity of the occupational therapy intervention to be provided and the level of proficiency required for it to be effective; and the safety risks for both students and recipients of occupational therapy.
[Note 2]
With effect from 26 June 2017, applicants may apply for exemption from taking IELTS if they could provide proof that their English proficiency is comparable to the requisite IELTS levels. Applications for exemptions would be considered on individual merits.
