OTA 398 - Technical Fieldwork B

Institution:

University of Southern Indiana

Subject:

Occupational Therapy Assistant

Description:

While working with persons having various levels of psychosocial, sensorimotor, and cognitive performance components, students have opportunities for synthesis, the integration and application of knowledge gained throughout their educational experiences which include general education/liberal arts courses as well as the sequence of occupational therapy coursework. Students will examine the interplay among occupational performance areas, components, and contexts, develop and expand a repertoire of occupational therapy treatment interventions, and employ clinical reasoning and reflective practice skills. Fieldwork B, a Level II internship of at least 8 weeks (full-time) in duration, must vary from Fieldwork A to reflect a difference in ages across the lifespan of persons requiring occupational therapy services, in the setting with regard to chronicity (long term versus short term disability/disease process), and in facility type (institutional versus community based). Prereq: 46 OTA hours (must include OTA 397). F, Sp, Su
