ORNT 208 - Orientation to Rehabilitation

Description
This course examines the conceptual framework that supports the practice of rehabilitation and the specific roles of the rehabilitation therapist assistant within this framework. Areas explored include rehabilitation team members, ethical and professional behaviour, therapeutic relationships, and effective delivery of rehabilitation services. Clinical documentation practice is introduced as a foundational skill that will be built upon throughout the program. These conceptual and practical foundations are reinforced by a series of observational visits to selected clinical settings which will serve as a basis for successful clinical fieldwork and professional employment upon graduation.
