Students receive ongoing verbal formative feedback about their performance through both regularly scheduled and spontaneous feedback sessions with their preceptor(s), clients, team members, and others. Formal evaluation occurs both at midterm and at the end of the placement with the completion of the Competency Based Fieldwork Evaluation for Occupational Therapists (CBFE-OT).
Students are required to purchase the Competency Based Fieldwork Evaluation for Occupational Therapists (CBFE-OT) manual prior to the start of the MScOT program. An electronic copy of the CBFE-OT will be made available to students after purchasing the manual. The CBFE-OT will be completed at both the midterm point of placement and at the end of placement, by inputting comments and scores for each competency.
The Introduction to Fieldwork experience and each fieldwork course (Fieldwork 1 through 4) include additional requirements of completion and these are outlined in the respective course outlines. Students are expected to complete these additional requirements (e.g., Introduction email to site and preceptor, site and program onboarding requirements, self-assessment using the CBFE-OT, Student Report on Fieldwork, Fieldwork Record Tool) prior to the date that course marks are due. Performance in fieldwork courses are measured with pass or fail criteria, and the student grade report/transcript will show either Credit (CR) or No Credit (NCR).
