This is the first in a sequence of two full-time (approximately 32-40 hours per week depending on the site), 12-week or the equivalent, educational experiences at an approved fieldwork site off-campus. It includes 1-2 seminars on campus. Under the supervision of a qualified practitioner, the student integrates undergraduate academic course work by focusing on the application of purposeful and meaningful occupation in the administration and management of occupational therapy services. The fieldwork experience promotes clinical reasoning and reflective practice; and develops professionalism, competence, and compassion as career responsibilities. This in-depth experience in delivery of occupational therapy interventions is an essential foundation for graduate studies. Prerequisites: All undergraduate OT courses and all other related required courses with a "C" or better; completion of all undergraduate, COREand elective requirements; satisfactory completion of all level I fieldwork; approval of academic fieldwork coordinator, clinical fieldwork educator, and Program Director; current certification in CPR (infant, child and adult) and first aid; and current health and immunization status reports.
