OT 515 - Fieldwork I Seminar III: Mastery & Mentorship

This course is the third and final seminar dedicated to student preparation for level II fieldwork. Strengthening and refining the ability to engage, lead, and guide potential clients, their friends and family members, colleagues, peers, community-partners, and supervisors, students are expected to work collaboratively, collegially, and in a self-directed manner. Drawing on knowledge and skills developed in previous course, lab, and fieldwork, students will discuss and demonstrate sound reasoning, judgement, and cultural awareness/sensitivity as expected of developing entry-level OT practitioners. In accordance with OT practice standards, core values, ethical principles, and Alvernia’s Franciscan core values, professional behaviors, and adherence to safety of self and others will be expected at all times. 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. OT majors only.
