Preparatory activities begins with a video clip of two supervisors looking forward to the arrival of their students. You will then share the preparatory measures you take prior to the arrival of your student(s).
Watch the video clip below:
What would you suggest?
What preparatory measures should you take prior to the arrival of your student(s)?
1. Review the criteria of the internship
2. Prepare the documents
3. Prepare the cases (clients) I want them to see
4. Mark in the calendar all the important dates for them and for me
5. Prepare weekly meetings
I think that what you wrote is quite complete
Agreed–I also add in a site tour, so the student gets oriented to their work environment.
I also agree with the list above and the site tour – I would also add:
– consult and coordinate with other departments/colleagues, perhaps from other healthcare disciplines as well, to determine if students can shadow them briefly to provide them with a glimpse of the different roles of the team members
– Review the site policies/expectations: ex. dress code, expected work hours, etc.
– establish where the students workspace will be located and ensure it will be available upon their arrival
– verify and confirm the materials (Ex. telephone extension, computer) and/or scheduled trainings (ex. computer programs used at the site) required for the placement
I can’t see the video but I agree with all your comments 🙂
I agree with the above comments, very complete
I agree with the comments above.
I would also introduce the students to my collegues in all departments
I agree with all the above comments and would discuss early in the placement:
Student’s expectations
Student’s objectives (learning contract)
Student’s previous experience (case load, responsibility given)
Discuss the role of O.T in community setting
Discuss the role of Journal (clinical reflexion)
All excellent comments, very complete.
Everyone had great contributions to this!
I would also add: discussing the student’s preferred learning methods (visual, oral, etc.) as they might already know their preferred method.
En plus des très bon commentaires ci-haut, j’ajouterai de m’assurer que je suis Ă jour dans mes dossiers actuels afin de ne pas me sentir stressĂ©e lors de l’arrivĂ©e de l’Ă©tudiant par du travail que je sais en retard.
Les commentaires ci-haut sont tous très pertinents et complets!
same as above comments
I agree with the previous comments. I will add: I would discuss with my team members about the upcoming arrival of the OT student and their role in group therapy.
