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.
