Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 12

The Level II A Fieldwork course is designed for the OTD student to develop entry-level practitioner skills in the assigned practice area through application of theory and techniques learned throughout the didactic portion of the curriculum. Level II Fieldwork consists of two separate experiences, OTD 871 and OTD 881. Each fieldwork is 12 weeks, full time in duration, for approximately 480 hours. Students are assigned to Level II Fieldwork, a supervised clinical internship experience, in a traditional or role emerging practice setting. These supervised fieldwork experiences provide the OTD student with an opportunity to apply didactic and prior clinical knowledge, experience the evaluation and intervention process across the lifespan and across a range of abilities in a variety of practice settings. Students will demonstrate the ability to engage in ethical practice, apply clinical thinking and reasoning, and exhibit professionalism to actively integrate into the occupational therapy process.
