OT 331 - Fieldwork I Seminar I: Introduction to Level I FW

Fieldwork I Seminar I is the first in a series of three FW seminars introducing and orienting the OT student to the requirements and responsibilities of professional, client-therapist engagement. The seminar format offers small-group instruction, discussion, and reflection on practical clinical, educational, and community-based OT intervention and services. While in the classroom and the field professional behavior and etiquette are expected at all times and will be evaluated in accordance with OT practice standards, core values, and ethical principles, and Alvernia’s Franciscan core values. In addition to weekly seminar attendance, students must complete a semester total of 20 hours of level I fieldwork as assigned by the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator. Fieldwork opportunities vary by semester based on site and supervisor availability. *PLEASE NOTE - Students are expected to adhere to all clearance and conduct requirements set forth in the OT Program Fieldwork Education Manual and Student Handbook. Extensive documentation of health and immunization records, background checks, drug screens, workplace trainings (CPR, HIPAA, etc.), and so forth… are required before students are permitted to attend fieldwork. Failure to complete clearances will result in a delay in the start of fieldwork, or refusal of the site to accept the student, and may result in a grade of “F” in the course.
