OT 420 - Fieldwork I Seminar II: Collegiality and Collaboration

Fieldwork I Seminar II is the second in a series of three FW seminar courses advancing student understanding of, and ability to, engage with potential clients, their friends and family members, colleagues, peers, community-partners, and supervisors. Students are expected to work collaboratively and collegially, exercising sound reasoning, judgement, and cultural sensitivity in the promotion of occupational health, well-being, and life satisfaction. The seminar format includes small-group discussion, observation, and interactive field opportunities for professional skill building. Professional behavior, etiquette and attitudes are expected at all times, and will be evaluated in accordance with OT practice standards, core values, ethical principles, and Alvernia’s Franciscan core values. In addition to weekly seminar attendance, students must complete a semester total of 20 hours of fieldwork experience as assigned by the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator. Fieldwork opportunities vary by semester based on site and supervisor availability and are assigned by the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator. *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.
