Training encompasses all levels of health care. We have pioneered a successful problem based and self directed learning curriculum for Occupational Therapy in South Africa, which is based on human occupation. Our unique approach equips our students to handle diverse and ongoing challenges. The funded academic support and financial assistance programs allow for the smooth transition from the school system to the higher education demands of this department. The program is modular, highly flexible and allows laddering at all levels of undergraduate training.
Distance learning is made possible by the most up to date communication technology.
We keep in touch with our community training and placement sites via video conferencing and an accessible air transport system. We are a dynamic partner in a national and international network of post graduate training, ensuring optimal use of available resources. Post graduate opportunities vary from specialist to community based rehabilitation. The many opportunities in the service rendering area have been maximally exploited across a variety of health care levels and environments including industrial, educational, health and community development. Most clinical fieldwork involving students is community based and facilitated by accessible transport and a group of empowered local disabled people.
