Fieldwork II in Occupational Therapy

Catalog description

This is the first of two fieldwork II placements where students gain and apply knowledge in a variety of practice settings treating clients and patients across the lifespan. Students participate in supervised full-time practice in various agencies and institutions. Students are assigned caseloads consisting of patients/clients with whom they are expected to demonstrate progressively higher levels of performance and responsibility as fieldwork advances. Department faculty consult with individual sites to assist in the development of their fieldwork programs and the supervision of our students. Students must show initiative and respond appropriately to supervision. Students must demonstrate ethical professional behavior. Students should demonstrate entry-level skill with the population to whom they have been assigned.
