General Information

Overview

This capstone unit builds upon the foundation knowledge and practice experience you have built throughout the occupational therapy course. The focus of this unit is to equip you to function as an autonomous, evidence-informed new graduate practitioner in Australia. It is comprised of various modules which will advance your professional skills for independent practice. Each module will be offered in semi-block mode to enable immersion in a specialised area of professional practice. The range of modules will be subject to resources including availability of experts to contribute. Depending on the number and scope of modules offered, there may be some choice in which modules you undertake. However, a compulsory module will focus on the application of telehealth for motivational interviewing, a skill in facilitating client behavioural change applicable across caseloads.

Previous Student Feedback

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE and casual feedback in-class to the Unit Coordinator.

Feedback

Many students reported that the Home Modifications module was complex and pitched more at new graduate level than at graduate level.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator continue to work with the expert specialist guest speaker to modify the content for 2025.

Feedback from Unit Coordinator reflection

Feedback

There is a need to ensure that the assessment results are truly reflective of the skill and knowledge of students as they graduate into the workforce. Student numbers are increasing, which means one marker will not be sustainable moving forward.

Recommendation

It is recommended that an additional experienced educator be brought in to support the unit coordinator with marking of the two assessment pieces worth 40%.

Feedback from SUTE and anecdotal feedback from students to Unit Coordinator.

Feedback

Students over 2023 and 2024 have provided feedback that the paediatric module is pitched at a foundational level, and needs to be more graduate level, with real-world skills application for paediatric private practice.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Unit Coordinator liaise with the CB84 team to modify the paediatric specialist module for 2025.
