Master of Occupational Therapy – Fraser cohort

Students in a classroom

Join the MOT program as part of our Fraser Valley cohort, located across from Surrey Memorial Hospital.

You will be taught by the same instructors and interact in real-time with the wider program, with clinical skills assistants present in labs at each of the MOT sites to facilitate learning and clinical skills development.

We respectfully acknowledge that UBC MOT Fraser cohort is taught on the treaty territory of the Tsawwassen First Nations and the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish people, specifically the Kwantlen, Katzie, and Semiahmoo First Nations.

As part of this program, students complete at least one out of five fieldwork placements within the Surrey area.

The remaining four placements are not guaranteed to take place in the area and will occur within any health authority and may be in rural or urban locations. You will experience a wide variety of clinical settings in both public and private sectors, with the chance to participate in innovative projects.

Clinical learning sites vary each year, but the majority of placements focus on critical sites within the Fraser Health Authority.
