Annual Report (2014-2015)

Chair’s Message The Departm ent of Occupational Therapy is pleased to share our 2014-2015 Annual Report. The department’s Vision and Mission are aligned with the University of Alberta’s 2011-2015 Dare to Deliver Academic Plan that emphasizes Learning, Discovery and Citizenship. In concert with clinical educators, the Department of Occupational Therapy educate graduate students to be competent therapists who have the capacity to practise in evolving sociopolitical and healthcare environments, local and global. Faculty members’ recognized research programs create knowledge and discovery that contribute to evidence-based occupational therapy practice in Canada. The theme of this reporting period is that of renewal and continued expansion. After two rounds of volunteer retirements during the period of budget cuts, the Department has now renewed its greatest asset – human resources. In the past year alone, we have recruited three new Assistant Professors. This brings the total current number of assistant professors to 6. These junior faculty members bring renewed energy to the Department through their innovative research, dynamic teaching and strong citizenship participation. After receiving notice of permanent funding, the Department has successfully completed renovations to our permanent space in Calgary for our satellite program. The number of students in our entire program has expanded to 120 between the Edmonton and Calgary sites. To accommodate this increase we have also recruited more instructors at both sites. Members of the Department of Occupational Therapy have worked diligently to complete a comprehensive self-study report in preparation for our accreditation in Fall 2015. This process has brought out leadership capacity in each member of the Department. I am humbled to call these individuals my colleagues. The successes of our students and faculty rely on the generous support of our numerous stakeholders, including occupational therapy practitioners, adjunct appointments in other disciplines, donors and volunteers at various committees. On behalf of the Department of Occupational Therapy, I extend our gratitude to you for helping make our 2014-2015 a successful year.

Clinical Education Highlights

During 2014-15, 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 Clinical Education Coordinator for Independent Community Placements, and a Clinical Education Assistant. This clinical education team organized and supported 612 fieldwork placements during 2014-2015*, at 514 placements in Alberta, Saskatchewan and the North West Territories as well as 43 placements in other provinces using the National Fieldwork Placement Service (NFPS). 37 students completed Independent Community Placements (ICPs) in role-emerging practice areas at community sites in Edmonton and Calgary. 11 students completed Level 3 fieldwork placements in via our ongoing partnership with the Surakarta Health Polytechnic in Indonesia. 7 students also completed Level 3 fieldwork placements in Scotland, Iceland, Australia, and the United States. 1 student completed Level 3 fieldwork requirements by participating in the Play Around the World project with the Faculty of Physical Education & Recreation in the Northwest Territories. OT students develop sensory room to help people with disabilities.

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 2014-15, the ACCE was a contributing member of the national Committee on University Fieldwork Education (CUFE), a sub-committee of the Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy University Programs (ACOTUP). The ACCE also served as the CUFE representative on the ACOTUP NFPS Joint Committee. As part of the faculty’s re-named Collaborative for Studies in Clinical Education (CSCE), the ACCEs from PT, SLP and OT hosted a full day of clinical education supervision workshops in Edmonton on November 13, 2015, which was also broadcast live to our Calgary satellite

location. The workshop included half day sessions focused on: (1) introduction to student supervision for clinical educators and (2) strategies for effectively supervising challenging students.

Calgary Satellite Campus Highlights

The 2014â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2015 academic year was highlighted by our move in the Summer of 2015 to newly renovated classroom and lab space within the University of Calgary Downtown Campus where the UofA Physical Therapy program is also located. The new space promotes sharing of resources and space, as well as the development of interprofessional communities of practice within student cohorts. Although OT students and instructors will miss their previous TRTech location and helpful staff, they are looking forward to learning and working in their new location. In particular, students are excited to having student benefits such as C-Train passes as well as access to University gym facilities. It took a huge team to negotiate and navigate all these changes; Dr. Shaniff Esmail (Associate Chair) and Susan Mulholland (Calgary Coordinator) and supported by Jutta Hinrichs (Clinical Education Coordinator - Calgary & Southern AB) and three core part-time Clinical Instructors, Deb Froese, Safieh Rajan, and Trish Williams. In September 2014 a new strategy was used for Foundation Week whereby Calgary students attended their first two days in Calgary then joined the rest of the students in Edmonton for the final two days. In January 2015 the student-led Professional Development Committee (PDC) Conference was video-conferenced for the Key Note speakers with the smaller breakout sessions done independently and with local guest speakers in Calgary. The three Calgary primary Clinical Instructors continued to deliver lectures and labs face-toface whenever possible. Again, this year there was an increase in number of guest speakers and lectures broadcast from Calgary to Edmonton capitalizing on expertise available in Southern Alberta as well as building capacity and community. In August 2015 two new OTs, Kimberly Coutts and Michele Moon, were welcomed onto the Calgary team in response to increased student interest in the program as well as to increase hands-on and interactive learning opportunities.

Annual Report (2014-2015)

Partnerships continued to be strengthened; OT students participated in Its Your Move (IYM) with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Rehabilitation Assistant (RA) students as well as the Inter-Disciplinary Launch with the RA and University of Alberta physical therapy students. This year we had the opportunity to host and support a number of meetings in Calgary including the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) and Society of Alberta Occupational Therapists (SAOT) annual general meeting. Collaboration with traditional fieldwork partners continued to be strong this year and we also had opportunities for two new fieldwork collaborations with "role-emerging" sites. Students were placed with Central Clinic/HIV Community Link to enhance their services and to address the needs of individuals with HIV/Aids as well as students were placed with Between Friends Camp Bonaventure over the summer to work with children with multiple needs. In an assignment for a course taught by Professor Sharon Brintnell (OCCTH 558), a Calgary student group developed a proposal for peer-led activities to reduce student stress. This resulted in two Wellness Representatives being appointed to lead wellness activities through the school. The student reps applied for and received a $1,000 grant from the Wellness Project, an initiative funded by Alberta Health that aims to contribute to creating a culture of wellness at the U of A.

Occupational Performance Analysis Unit (OPAU) Highlights

The Occupational Performance Analysis Unit (OPAU) is the not for profit, fee for service unit of the Department of Occupational Therapy. Originally conceptualized to demonstrate application of the CMOP in private practice, over the past 30 years OPAU has supported the Department’s mandate in Education, Research and Service through direct and indirect contributions. In 2014-15, OPAU continued its core work of providing rehabilitation services to veterans of the CAF, as well as to members of the Kehewin First Nation twice per week in their community. In addition, OPAU collaborates with community agencies to conduct functional assessments with people affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and with people receiving AISH. OPAU also functions as a resource to Rehabilitation Medicine faculty and students in the area of work evaluation and community-based rehabilitation, including curriculum and research support. Finally, OPAU fields many questions and queries from the academic and the general community and attempts to connect callers with the contacts and resources according to their needs.
