Help Develop the Student Placement Checklist
With World OT Day on 27th October, new students are embarking upon the first steps of their OT careers and we thought it would be a nice idea to create a student placement checklist using the wisdom of our OT community.
Please share the top items/tips that you feel students should remember to bring on day 1 of their placements.
At The Occupational Therapy Hub we think that we can all recall and appreciate the apprehension and anxiety that the build-up to placement can bring. In the current climate there is even more uncertainty surrounding placements for students which is likely to exacerbate these feelings so we want to help make the transition from student to student practitioner as stress free and smooth as possible.
We hope to compile the ideas shared to create a checklist that can be downloaded and used by all of our student members when preparing for their placements and for placement educators to share with their students prior to placements to ensure that they feel well prepared when they arrive on day 1.
I will get the ball rolling...
My top item to remember on day 1 of placement would be … Your student name badge...
Work through leaning contract so you know what is expected of you on placement. Ensure what you want to learn and you PC marries up. Read and understand the way the university set out the standards to be reached as these are different from the learning contract.
