Institution:

Eastern Washington University

Subject:

Description:

Graded Pass/No Credit. Prerequisite: Admission to the MOT program and successful completion of all course work in the professional curriculum to this point. This experience is done either on a part-time (20 hours per week for 12 months) or full-time basis (40 hours per week for six months). The advanced internship experience is conducted at a clinical and/ or community site in which treatment for persons of all ages with physical dysfunction, behavioral and/ or mental health disorders affecting occupational performance occurs. The student must complete two quarters (24 weeks or 960 hours) of Fieldwork Level II within 24 months of completing their professional OT academic program before graduating. The student may elect to enroll in one or two additional quarters of FW II for further experience in an area of special interest. Upon successful completion of the required FW II experience and graduation with a Master of Occupational Therapy Degree (MOT), the student will be eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). Graduates must initially pass the NBCOT exam before practicing as an occupational therapist in the United States. Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT Certification Examination or attain state licensure.
