OT 589 - OT Fieldwork Level II: Practicum II

This is the second in a sequence of two full-time (approximately 32-40 hours per week depending on the site), 12-week or the equivalent, educational experiences at an approved fieldwork site off-campus. It includes 1-2 seminars on campus. Under the supervision of a qualified practitioner, the student integrates academic course work by focusing on the application of purposeful and meaningful occupation in the administration and management of occupational therapy services. The fieldwork experience promotes clinical reasoning and reflective practice; and develops professionalism, competence, and compassion as career responsibilities. This in-depth experience in delivery of occupational therapy interventions is an essential foundation for graduate studies. At the completion of this fieldwork students will demonstrate beginning competency for entry-level, generalist, professional practice. To insure the safety of the work environment, fieldwork sites require extensive documentation including but not limited to background checks, health and immunization status, drug screens, and workplace trainings (CPR, HIPAA etc.). Students must meet all site specific requirements before attending their scheduled fieldwork placement. The student is responsible for maintaining current health insurance, travel, and accommodation expenses during fieldwork. This course is graded pass/fail.
