Principles of Practice III: Adult Occupational Therapy Fieldwork

Catalog description

This course builds on the foundational principles to prepare students to develop and implement evidenced- based, and client- centered intervention, related to areas of occupation for a variety of clients and diagnoses, along the continuum of practice settings. Lab experiences will promote critical analysis and facilitate growth of a clinical skill set. Case-based learning will be used to promote clinical and ethical reasoning to determine the appropriate intervention approach for a particular client. Competency in entry-level intervention skills are emphasized throughout the course. Didactic coursework is coupled with Level I experiences to enhance student learning. Experiences may include simulated environments, standardized patients, faculty practice, faculty-led site visits and/or, supervision by a fieldwork educator in a practice environment. This is a pass/fail course.
