PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT
Field Placement
Three five-week field placements provide you with the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in therapeutic environments under the supervision of skilled professionals.
Fieldwork education includes a minimum of 500 clinical hours, of which no less than 150 hours are to be completed in each discipline (physical therapy and occupational therapy).
These hands-on clinical situations provide you with the confidence to move right into practice after graduation.
International students must have a valid study permit with authorization to work on campus written on their permit before starting their field placement, clinical practice or practicum. If you plan to work with vulnerable populations in a health, community or medical field, you need an up-to-date medical exam by an IRCC-approved panel physician before starting the work placement.
You must contact MacEwan International to check your student work placement eligibility.
