jdr44 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hello all, Just trying to get a sense of the experience necessary to apply to the program at UOT etc. I am aware that this when it comes to clinical experience, here is a listing of duties that qualify: Prescribed diagnostic tests and/or lab services Conducted diagnostic tests and/or lab services Applied casts and splints Sutured wounds Counselled patients in preventative care Therapy - Physical Therapy - Radiation Therapy - Occupational Therapy - Respiratory Therapy - Massage Therapy - Sports Therapy - Chiropractic Emergency/critical care Other - Please Specify However - I am wondering if my experience as a Research Assistant and Coordinator at the Center for Hip Health and Mobility and the Falls Prevention Clinic count as "other". Where exactly is the line drawn? I experience direct patient contact (with both long term care home citizens and community dwelling senior citizens) and perform research based (MMSE, MOCA, PPA etc) physical and cognitive examinations on a daily basis. I also help provide exercise therapy in the form of walking and resistance training to different patient groups. I am wondering because the primary basis of this patient contact is research based, if this is still considered as health care experience, for the purpose of the application? Cheers!
