Our Programs

Clinical Education makes up about a third of the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT), Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) and Master of Speech-Language Pathology (MSLP) programs. Students participate in a total of 30 weeks of clinical placements throughout their 27-month program with placements ranging from one week to six weeks in length.

Clinical instructors/preceptors and clinical sites play an integral role in our students' learning and are an essential component of our graduate programs.

Becoming a clinical instructor or preceptor provides you with the opportunity to supervise one or more students on a clinical placement, provide mentorship and guide them toward their career goals.

Students are placed across Saskatchewan and on occasion inter-provincially

Students graduate as generalists, having developed skills across a variety of areas

Supervising students is a great way to both give back and grow the profession

We support multiple student to clinical instructor/preceptor ratios including 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and up to 4:1.

In addition, we support role-emerging placements in settings where therapy services have not yet been established. These placements provide a valuable opportunity for students to design, implement and assess innovative roles in response to identified community needs. Role emerging placements are often situated in non-traditional or community-based settings and help bridge gaps in healthcare by delivering services to individuals who might otherwise have limited or no access to professional support.

 

Program Timelines

The MOT, MPT and MSLP programs are harmonized. Students from all three programs are on clinical placements at the same time.
