OT 697 - Professional Fieldwork II

Credits: 6

In this Level II fieldwork experience of at least 12 weeks full-time, students synthesize knowledge gained throughout their educational experiences including liberal arts courses (Core 39) as well as the professional sequence of occupational therapy coursework by delivering occupational therapy services to persons having various levels of occupational performance. For service delivery, students use clinical reasoning, self-reflection, and creativity in their utilization of various occupational therapy theoretical approaches throughout the occupational therapy process. By the end of this internship, the student must function as an entry-level occupational therapist. Fieldwork II must vary from Fieldwork I to reflect a difference in (a) ages across the lifespan of persons requiring occupational therapy services; (b) the setting with regard to chronicity (long-term versus short-term); and (c) facility type (institutional versus community based).
