Individual guidance and supervision in completing the Master's research project and writing a scholarly paper will be provided, along with scheduled symposium sessions. Professional publication and presentation and IRB standards will be reviewed. The sessions will enable students to present their research for critical analysis and discussion through a professional poster presentation.

This course offers supervised full-time fieldwork at agencies and organizations approved by the faculty in accordance with established AOTA and ACOTE standards. Two three-month affiliations provide a diversity of professional experience in both psychosocial and physical disabilities across the developmental continuum. Selection and scheduling of fieldwork sites is a collaborative process between the student and the Academic Clinical Coordinator to ensure that the student's educational needs and professional requirements are properly met. Direct supervision is provided by a registered Occupational Therapist with at least one year of experience. A mandatory seminar is scheduled during each fieldwork experience to provide support, facilitate the sharing of experiences and strategies, and promote successful integration of academic training with professional clinical practice.
