2 Credits The 2006 ACOTE Standards describe the role of Level I fieldwork "to introduce students to the fieldwork experience, to apply knowledge and practice, and to develop understanding of the needs of clients".

These skills include, but are not limited to: interviewing, effective gathering and organizing of information, examining personal reactions to individuals with disabilities, assuming professional roles and duties in varied practice environments, and observing health care systems. The focus of the learning experience includes active observation, written and verbal communication, professional behavior including OT Ethics & Values, and individual and group participation with individuals receiving health care services. Students will begin to experience relationships with other health care practitioners and the individuals they serve. Prerequisites: CPR certification, all required immunizations and all Level I OTS courses/OTS107, OTS109.
