Abstract
Fieldwork education is a critical and an indisputable component within occupational therapy curricula. It presents the opportunity for the integration of theory and practice, enabling the development of professional behaviour in students. Over the last decade, several authors have evaluated, debated and reflected upon the processes and contents of fieldwork so as to present the best practices which would truly provide meaningful learning experiences for the students. This article documents a cross-section of the literature as seen within the context of higher education and professional practice in a climate of changing health care systems.Keywords
