Doctoral Capstone

Catalog description

This course will develop occupational therapists with advanced skills (those that are beyond a generalist level). The doctoral experiential component is an integral part of the program's curriculum design and, as such, includes an in-depth experience in one or more of the following: clinical practice skills, research skills, administration, servant leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education, or theory development. The summation of the program will include rich discussion of overarching program themes; faith-based practice, servant leadership in healthcare, community practice, holistic program development and others. Discussion will consider the foundations and practice of occupational therapy as well as the social, cultural, and political influences on the profession. Students will share with each other, the faculty, and the community the outcomes of their individual Capstone projects.
