NHPOT4027 Advancing reflective practice
This unit focuses on preparing students to transition from student to new graduate occupational therapist. In this unit students will examine complex case scenarios, with a focus on professional, ethical and legal frameworks that guide occupation practice and service delivery in urban, rural and remote healthcare settings. Students will participate in an enquiry-based learning approach to resolve the case scenarios by identifying existing gaps in practice knowledge and skills and draw on evidence-based practice to address these. Reflecting on professional practice experiences, students will critically examine the leadership skills to support professional resilience and growth in practice. The role of supervision, mentoring and coaching to support continuing personal and professional development in practice will be examined. Students will advance their core skills for professional competence i.e. effective communication, appreciation of clinical and ethical reasoning, reflective practice, critical thinking and professional practice and develop a personalised development plan to guide the transition to practice
