The UBC Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program has three geographically distinct sites:
- Vancouver cohort, located at the UBC Point Grey campus
- North cohort, located in Prince George
- Fraser cohort, located across from Surrey Memorial Hospital
This distributed model of learning uses technology to allow instructors and students to interact in real-time at multiple locations. It is a well-established model with benefits from accessing expertise across the province, learning through both an urban and rural lens, smaller class sizes, and unique placement opportunities in northern and rural regions with special populations.
All MOT students complete the same curriculum at the same time, in the same sequence, with the same points of evaluation, regardless of site.
All sites are well-connected with the latest technology. Larger lectures are broadcast across all sites simultaneously, with smaller group tutorials and lab skills classes taught by lead instructors at each site.
