OT 381 - Fieldwork I Seminar I

Students will apply knowledge gained in concurrent OT courses to practice settings. With supervision, students will be provided the opportunity to observe and carry out professional responsibilities. Students will be guided in the process of developing the reflective skills needed for professional development. Students can expect to spend all or part of one day per week at a clinical site during the duration of the course. OT majors only. Prerequisites: formal acceptance into the OT Program or Permission of the Program Director. To insure the safety of the work environment, fieldwork sites require extensive documentation of clearances including but not limited to background checks, health and immunization status, drug screens, and workplace trainings (CPR, HIPAA, etc.). Students will not be permitted to attend their fieldwork placement until all clearances required by the program, the university and the site are completed, documented and approved. Failure to complete clearances will result in a delay to the start of fieldwork, it could also result in the fieldwork site refusing to accept the student and may lead to a grade of “F” in the course. Refer to the Alvernia University OT Student Handbook for full FW I requirements. Students are responsible for maintaining current health insurance, travel arrangements and costs during fieldwork.
