Clinical Internships

Project Information
Description: 

Arranges varied clinical learning experiences for McGill's OT students in remote regions of Quebec with support from the McGill retention project and our McGill RUIS network, all other Canadian provinces through our National Placement Service in partnership with ACOTUP and varied international locations both with developing countries and G7 partners.  All of these internships have a service component in providing OT services and 2 projects are funded by fellowships. Some of our projects are inter professional in service delivery design.  International partners are sourced by networking with past alumni, national organizations, NGOs and different university partners. On an annual basis, we arrange 300 clinical internships for the OT program and our break-down on average is as follows: Remote, rural Quebec regions (i.e.: Abititi, Gaspésie, Outaouais, James Bay, Eastern Townships, Thetford Mines): 6; Canadian out of province: (Yukon, BC, AB, ON, NFLD, NB, NS, PEI): 15-20; International: (Tanzania, India, Thailand, Namibia, Columbia, Guatemala, Barbados, Bahamas, England, France, Greece, US, Hong Kong, New Zealand): 15-20

McGill University Project Leader Information

Project Leader: 

Caroline Storr

Primary Position

Faculty: 
Faculty of Medicine
Department: 
School of Physical & Occupational Therapy
Position/Appointment: 
Assistant Professor
Research Interests: 
International fieldwork, models of student supervision, community service learning, mentoring, teaching and technology. Fieldwork education is constantly changing yet change itself is hard to implement. In an effort to promote continuous quality improvement in the clinical teaching setting while assuring that we meet diverse client needs, we need to regularly examine the changing forces and adapt our teaching to new learners and new ways in the workplace. What are the current benefits and challenges of international OT fieldwork? This current study is helping to highlight factors for consideration in planning international electives. I like to explore clinically relevant questions.
