OTD 6460 Level I Fieldwork and Seminar II

2 Hours

Students have directed observation and participation at clinical fieldwork sites, enabling the student to gain professional behaviors as well as be exposed to occupational therapy practice. This practicum allows the student to observe a practitioner applying his/her clinical expertise and affords the student the opportunity to participate in a dialogue about this process. Settings may include, but are not limited to acute care, long term care centers, assisted living facilities, community agencies for seniors, and rehabilitation facilities. This fieldwork experience includes a weekly fieldwork seminar that will emphasize clinical reasoning through classroom analysis of observations that help strengthen ties between didactic and clinical practice.
