Health Care Professionals - Occupational Therapy Practice at Trillium
The Occupational Therapists of Trillium Health Centre are committed to the provision of excellent service to all of their customers. Reflective, client-centred practice is facilitated through quality improvement and professional development activities.
The more than 50 Occupational Therapists at Trillium are regulated by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario. Many also are members of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists and the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists. Support in the delivery of some services is provided by Occupational Therapist Assistants, graduates of recognized certificate programs.
Occupational therapists work in each of the health systems throughout various programs and units and are directly responsible to the respective managers. Discipline-specific processes and practices on a corporate level are coordinated by the Professional Practice Leader - Occupational Therapy (PPL). Under the leadership of the PPL, the occupational therapy discipline group meets monthly for business and professional development meetings. Four committees drive the professional activities of the clinicians: Quality Assurance, Occupational Therapy Promotion, Standards of Practice, and Professional Development.
Many student occupational therapists and student occupational therapist assistants complete fieldwork placements throughout the year at Trillium. In the summer of 2001, Trillium Health Centre met all the fieldwork education site approval (5 year) requirements set by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists and the Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy University Programs and is entitled to receive both national and international occupational therapy students.
