Fieldwork Manual

This Fieldwork Manual is designed for students and fieldwork partners and provides details about the structure of the fieldwork program, fieldwork policies and procedures, and university expectations for students while on fieldwork.

Our department follows the Canadian Guidelines for Fieldwork Education in Occupational Therapy. This manual also includes information regarding professional standards as outlined by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists and the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario.

Students are expected to know and follow these standards, in addition to student-specific guidelines developed by the University of Toronto.

This manual also contains fieldwork administrative information regarding health policies such as immunization requirements, contracts and insurance, fieldwork requirements and selection process, pre-placement communication, fieldwork objectives, and the fieldwork evaluation process. 

All the best to each of you as you embark on the essential element of fieldwork education on your journey to become an Occupational Therapist!
