The Introduction to Medicolegal Occupational Therapy is a mandatory pre-requisite for the Advanced Course.
Complete the course whenever you want, wherever you want. Start any time.
The only course of it's kind, you'll have the chance to apply the knowledge and skills acquired through a series of practical exercises.
Not only will you learn from seasoned medicolegal professionals as your Course Educators, you will also receive personalised feedback on your practical exercises from MLEA's practicing Medicolegal Experts.
Complete the course at your own pace. There is a lot to learn, so we recommend completing the course over a number of weeks to allow consolidation of learning, and sufficient time to complete practical exercises.
