Chair’s Message The Department of Occupational Therapy is pleased to share our 2012-2013 Annual Report. This year marks the last year of our five-year strategic plan (2008-2013). The department’s Vision and Mission are aligned with the University of Alberta’s 2011-2015 Dare to Deliver Academic Plan that emphasizes Learning, Discover and Citizenship. Department of Occupational Therapy Vision The Department of Occupational Therapy promotes health and well-being through occupation with excellence in learning, discovery and citizenship.
Department of Occupational Therapy Mission The Department of Occupational Therapy discovers, shares, and applies knowledge related to healthy occupation and occupational therapy practice through innovative teaching, life-long learning, research and creative activity, community involvement and imaginative collaboration with community partners in Alberta and beyond. In concert with clinical educators, we educate competent therapists to ensure they have the capacity to practice in evolving socio-political and healthcare service environments, both local and global. Recognized research programs set the standard for knowledge and discovery supporting occupational therapy practice in Canada.
Highlights from 2012-2013 In September 2012, twelve students began their occupational therapy education in Calgary as part of a pilot satellite program. Although this represented a major step for our program, it built upon earlier experiences offering courses at a distance for a portion of our undergraduate program. Because we had learned from those experiences, we chose to use an instructional approach combining real-time video-conferencing, face- to- face instruction, and asynchronous delivery of course content. While the Calgary program was being implemented and refined over 2012-2013, we were also seeking government funding for a second cohort of students. Funding was received for more cohorts beginning in September 2013. Demand for our program remains high with an ever increasing number of applications and we were pleased with the excellence of our new 102 students. They were able to learn in newly renovated space in Corbett Hall that is dedicated to the occupational therapy program and allows easy interaction with students and staff in Calgary. The following report highlights the department’s achievements in one academic year. These achievements are built on the collective efforts and dedication of our Faculty, administration/support staff, and community partners. The excellence of our faculty members is seen in their national and international leadership roles in occupational therapy. Lili Liu was selected as one of 10 creative academics to participate on the Renaissance Committee making recommendations for the future of our University in an era of fiscal restraint. This commitment has required countless hours of meetings and deliberations that continue while she is on administrative leave for the 2013-2014 academic year. Our research is highly relevant to service delivery and department members are sought out as collaborators on team grants that include researchers, policy makers, and consumers. Our knowledge translation activities range from publications to workshops for service providers or members of the public resulting in a direct impact on public health. We extend a heartfelt thank you and recognize our staff for their excellent work in and outside of the classroom and our community partners (guest lectures, clinical educators, etc.) who make our students’ learning a successful experience. We celebrate the accomplishments of each of our students and congratulate the class members who convocated in November 2012 and June 2013. Their impressive awards are listed in this report.

Notable Events 2012-2013 Introduction of OPAAL The renovations of the north wing of Corbett Hall, consisting of rooms 3-01, 3-07, 3-21 and 3-29 are now completed. The new Occupational Performance Activities and Analysis Lab (OPAAL) is fully operational. This state-of-art occupational therapy educational space boasts the latest in equipment and technology for both in-class as well as distance learning. This multifunctional, flexible space comprises a resource room, which houses test kits and equipment; a library; an activities of daily living suite; a physical assessment lab; a light-activities lab; an orthotics lab; and a psychosocial lab. Since the renovations, this space has had a high utilization rate, including student independent study. Indonesian Placements In the summer of 2012, four occupational therapy students completed a six-week senior placement working with occupational therapists in Indonesia. The U of A Department of OT has had a long-standing relationship with the Indonesian OT program since the 1980s. The students worked in collaboration with OT students at Surakarta Health Polytechnic – the only Indonesian university with an occupational therapy program recognized by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. Their placements included experiences in mental health and pediatric settings. Colombian Placements In the spring of 2013, nine level-3 occupational therapy students completed a six-week senior placement working with occupational therapists in Bogota, Colombia. The U of A Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine has had a relationship with the Universidad de Rosario OT program since 2009. Our students were billeted by and worked in collaboration with OT students at U de R completing placements at sites around Bogota which included experiences in mental health, pediatric and communitybased practice settings. Kuwait Placements In the spring of 2013, one level-3 occupational therapy student completed a six-week placement working with a rehabilitation program in Kuwait City. Our student worked in collaboration with the rehabilitation team at the Fawzia Sultan Rehabilitation Institute. This opportunity was created via a partnership that was initiated by the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital and was further developed by our Associate Dean – Professional Programs & Teaching to include the University of Alberta rehabilitation departments.

The Department of Occupational Therapy is fortunate to have the on-going volunteer support of Rudy Cornet and Douglas MacNeill as part of our team. Rudy Cornet has been with the Department of Occupational Therapy since 1991. Rudy is a car-accident survivor. After sustaining a life-altering brain injury 20 years ago, Rudy has worked diligently to regain his independence and is a friendly and fantastic member of the program’s support team. He has been a guest speaker as a client educator, and now is a volunteer and active part of our day-to-day operations. He assists Jacalyn Poulin, our Occupational Therapy Assistant, with the new Occupational Performance Activities and Analysis Lab (OPAAL). Specifically his responsibilities include taking care of our library and resource room, along with organizing and general set-up, take-down, and clean-up of OPAAL.
Douglas MacNeill has been with the Department of Occupational Therapy for more than 10 years. He has a diagnosis of Asperger’s Disorder/high-functioning autism, and holds a Master’s Degree in Sociology. Under supervision, Douglas is a research assistant for occupational therapy. He has been a guest speaker as a client educator in various classes and student tutorials, and he conducts an annual seminar on Refworks. In addition, Douglas provides literature reviews and responds to faculty and student requests for literature searches. He is an invaluable member of our team. We are grateful that he supports the program and students with his skills. Individuals like Rudy and Douglas help our department address our vision to, “...[promote] health and well-being through occupation.”

Farewells and Retirements In June 2013, the department celebrated Melody Gerber’s retirement at the Faculty Club. The assistant to the Chair has seen a lot of changes since she began her work with the Department of Occupational Therapy as a part-time receptionist in 1983. By 1988, she was supporting the department Chair and worked with six Chairs/ Acting Chairs who all had very different leadership styles. Her extensive knowledge of the history of Corbett Hall and her understanding of the policies and procedures of the department were a huge asset during times of transition and she has influenced many key decisions. Melody played an important role in initial contact with applicants for faculty positions and many current and past faculty members remember her kindness and support during the stressful interview process and then the early days of settling in to their positions. She was an ideal balance of personable and professional. She will be particularly missed at the annual faculty gathering where she used her beautiful soprano voice to sing songs of the season with the “Rehabaneros”. The department is grateful for the many important contributions that she made to the University of Alberta. The department also bid farewell to two clinical track department members. Congratulations to Susan Burwash who successfully defended her PhD thesis and convocated in June 2013. Dr. Susan Burwash is currently an Assistant Professor at Eastern Washington University. Anita Hamilton continues her doctoral studies and is a lecturer in the Occupational Therapy Program at University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
Recruitments The department welcomed Karmet Wall. Karmet joined Occupational Therapy as Executive Assistant (EA) to the Chair in April 2013, having previously been an EA in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and most recently in the office of the Associate VP International. She brings a broad range of aptitudes to her position, including service-oriented administrative support, “outside-the-box” thinking, process and logisitics coordination, and progressive problem solving and implementation. We welcome her organizational and collaborative skills.

Clinical Education During 2012-2013, the clinical education team consisted of the Academic Coordinator of Clinical Education (ACCE), a Calgary (& Southern Alberta) Clinical Education Coordinator, a Saskatchewan Clinical Education Coordinator, a Fieldwork Educator for Independent Community Placements, and a Clinical Education Assistant. This clinical education team organized and supported 499 fieldwork placements during 2012-2013, including 407 placements in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the North West Territories as well as 31 placements in other provinces using the National Fieldwork Placement Service (BC, ON, NL, NS, YT). Thirty-three students completed Independent Community Placements (ICPs) at community sites in Edmonton and Calgary. Four students completed level-III fieldwork placements in Indonesia. Nine students completed level-III placements in Colombia. Four students also completed level-III fieldwork placements in India, Kuwait and the U.S. The ACCE and clinical education team maintained and established supportive partnerships with the occupational therapists and practice communities within our catchment areas. Many site visits and information sessions occurred, as well as appreciation events and advisory meetings, to ensure a forum for input and feedback from clinical educators. During 2012-13, the ACCE was the co-Chair of the national Committee on University Fieldwork Education (CUFE), a sub-committee of the Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy University Programs (ACOTUP). As part of the Centre for Clinical Education Studies (CSCE), the ACCEs from the departments of Physical Therapy, Speech and Language Pathology, and Occupational Therapy hosted a full day clinical education supervision workshops in Edmonton which was also broadcast live to a Calgary location. The workshop included half-day sessions focused on introductory training for potential supervisors and strategies for effectively supervising challenging students. The Department of Occupational Therapy would like to express their immense gratitude to the numerous sites that provided clinical education opportunities for our MScOT students during 2012-2013.

Calgary Satellite The 2012- 2013 academic year has been marked by the implementation of the pilot project in Calgary under the direction of Shaniff Esmail (Associate Chair) and Susan Mulholland (Calgary liaison). They were supported by Jutta Hinrichs (clinical education coordinator) and four core part-time sessional instructors, Deb Froese, Allan Funk, Safieh Rajan, and Trish Williams. The program was delivered in three locations: 1) TRTech, 2) Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, and 3) University of Alberta-Calgary Centre, building on important partnerships.
All students were in Edmonton for orientation week in September 2012 and again for one week in January 2013 that included the student-led professional development conference. Whenever possible, lectures and labs were delivered face-to-face, predominantly by four local occupational therapists. Weekly classes were also held synchronously by videoconference for approximately four to eight hours per week. Speakers were based in either Edmonton or Calgary, depending on topic and area of expertise. Initial challenges with the technology were resolved by mid-December. One course (a student selected module) was offered over a weekend in Calgary, and Edmonton based students attended as well. There were a number of opportunities to build collaborations for the students in Calgary. The students shared three activities and one interdisciplinary course with the 18 physical therapy students who were attending the Calgary satellite located in a University of Calgary building. The OT students had an event with the SAIT rehabilitation assistant students. One Calgary student will do her major project with an industry partner of TRTech, an innovation incubator technology company. Preliminary feedback indicates that the students view the program positively. The smaller class size enhances engagement and cohesion and students report a more balanced lifestyle given that they have been able to remain closer to their home town or preferred location. Academic performance is comparable or better than the Edmonton cohort. Demand for a Calgary site continues with 19 students who were offered admission for 2013-14 expressing a strong preference for Calgary. A poster highlighting the program was presented the conference of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists in June. Additional benefits of the satellite program include engagement with the practitioner community and professional opportunities for local clinicians. The community views the presence of the satellite positively. Funding for a second cohort starting in September 2013 has been provided, but longer term support for the program is needed. Ultimately, a location to allow sharing of space and equipment with the Physical Therapy Satellite Program is needed, as is the use of technology to create interprofessional communities of practice required.
