In this module, the perspective of the service provider is the central
theme because health care is, like no other social sector, influenced
by personal services. In accordance with the CanMEDS model,
health professions must be able to do and achieve more than simply
to focus on therapeutic expertise. They are part of a highly regulated,
costly and organisationally complex health care system, and it is their
duty to preserve the right of self-determination of patients. These
multiple demands that are placed on the therapists are analysed in
this module from the perspective of the service provider. The student
should, by way of a self-implemented project, perceive his/her own
process and reflect on the meta level.
