Language and Dialect Workshop 2025

The Language and Dialect (L&D) Workshop was a meaningful opportunity for students to build confidence in using commonly spoken languages and dialects in clinical settings. This year’s workshop featured five engaging sessions: Teochew, Malay, Hokkien, Cantonese, and Mandarin.

 

Participants received word lists and engaged in practical learning through clinically based scenarios, interactive Kahoot quizzes, and group games. The workshop provided a fun and effective way to strengthen communication skills essential for clinical practice.

​

We are grateful to our passionate student speakers and dedicated helpers, whose contributions made this enriching experience possible.

CPE Sharing 2025: Doing, Being, Becoming & Belonging

In April 2025, we held our CPE Sharing session, providing a platform for students to gain valuable insights from senior OT students, a Clinical Educator, and a representative from the SIT CPE team. Through personal stories, key learnings, and practical tips, participants explored how to navigate their upcoming CPE journeys with greater confidence and understanding.

​

This year’s theme, "Doing, Being, Becoming & Belonging", encouraged participants to reflect on the roles they take on as clinical students, the importance of developing their professional identity, and the sense of community they can build throughout their practice.

​

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our speakers for their generosity in sharing and to all participants for their enthusiastic involvement in making this event a meaningful one.

Occupations For All (OFA) 2025: AWWA Community Integration Service (CIS)

OFA aims to raise awareness of Occupational Therapy for marginalised and less visible populations. This year, we invited the AWWA Community Integration Service (CIS) to join us as we work to cultivate future clinicians who are both socially aware and culturally sensitive, while championing the universality of occupations.

 

Through insightful sharing and a case discussion, we deepened our understanding of how occupation empowers children and youth with Physical Disabilities (PD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), low vision, and speech disorders. More than just learning — this session was about advocating for inclusivity in every space.

Occupations For All (OFA) 2024

OFA is a trimester-long series of talks and programmes targeted at raising awareness of Occupational Therapy for marginalised groups and other less visible populations. We aspired to develop future clinicians who are socially aware and culturally sensitive, and to promote the universality of occupations. 

 

Our inaugural run of this OFA series was guided by the theme of NOTC 2024, “Expanding Horizons: Occupational Therapy for an Inclusive Tomorrow”.

 

With the contributions of 8 guest speakers, we covered the following topics:

  • “Demystifying Sexual Wellness”

  • “Bringing Clarity to Low Vision”

  • “Thinking Deeper about Psychiatric Services”

CPE Sharing 2024: Doing, Being, Becoming

Our annual CPE Sharing aims to provide a platform for seniors to share their Clinical Practice Education (CPE) experiences and reflections Through which, we hope to better equip students in their preparation for CPE, and to provide them with general exposure and valuable insights into their upcoming CPE journeys.

 

Specific to this year’s “CPE Sharing — Doing, Being, Becoming”, Clinical Educators (CEs) shared with participants more insights into being a good clinical student and nurturing the CE-Student relationship. The event culminated with a Panel Q&A session, delving deeper into how the framework of “Doing, Being, Becoming” can help us to achieve occupational adaptation in our roles as Clinical Students.

Our annual L&D Workshop aims to equip participants with basic conversational skills in non-English L&D, specific to our context in Occupational Therapy. These include: Basic Chinese, Basic Malay, Basic Hokkien, and Basic Cantonese.

 

In this year’s L&D Workshop, we offered comprehensive pre-workshop materials for our participants to review, and engaging live workshops to enrich their learning — all made possible through the invaluable contributions of our student volunteers!
