The first clinical observation will be in October 2025.

Keys to Success in the OTA/PTA Program

Professionalism

Our goal is to simulate professionalism in the classroom as would be expected in industry. Therefore, coming to class with a positive attitude, an open-mind perspective, and wearing clothing that is appropriate for the practical labs will all contribute to a student’s success.

Attendance

Students are required to attend class and practicum each day as scheduled. Regular attendance has been proven to have a positive effect on performance. Dependability is of utmost importance to future employers and a positive attendance record contributes to you receiving a positive reference from the program.

Work Ethic

Being active in your own learning is a path to success in the program. Managing your time effectively in order to complete the required readings, do assignments, meet with classmates, study course materials, and write exams is very important. It is highly recommended you purchase a daily planner to help manage your time well.

How many students will be in my class?

The program currently has an enrolment of 24 students, however there may be fewer or more at the beginning of the semester.

Where is the program located?

The OTA/PTA program’s main classroom and lab are located in the Charlottetown Centre (140 Weymouth Street) in Room 224C. There are times when your class will be in other classrooms in the Charlottetown Centre and the Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST), and these locations will be indicated in your course syllabus. The OTA/PTA program is part of the Health Studies Department.

What does a typical class day look like?

This is a full-time study program, so you can expect classes every day between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. During the practicum placements in the second year of the program, your schedule will vary depending on the site.

What are my options after I graduate?
