Description:

After the successful completion of all coursework and Level I fieldwork experiences (3 total), students complete two eight-week, full time clinical experiences (total 16 weeks) in any of the following settings, which are consistent with the curriculum, in order to prepare to become an entry level, generalist occupational therapy assistant: pediatrics, psychosocial, inpatient rehabilitation, geriatrics, outpatient and acute care. Each student will have the opportunity to experience practical learning in two different type settings with differing populations. The Level II fieldwork experience is the culmination of academic and Level I fieldwork experiences in a supervised, service delivery experience within the health field. Utilizing knowledge and skills acquired during academic preparation and Level I fieldwork experiences students will focus on applying evidence -based purposeful and meaningful occupations, enhancing clinical reasoning skills, and understanding administration and management of occupational therapy services. Students will also carry out professional responsibilities under the supervision of an occupational therapy practitioner. This in-depth, sixteen-week period, provides the student the final opportunity and time to fully integrate didactic theoretical knowledge with clinical practice as an occupational therapy assistant student in order to acquire entry-level, generalist competency as an occupational therapy assistant. Prerequisites: Successful completion of all occupational therapy assistant coursework and successful completion of three Level I experiences.
