    Description

    Fieldwork IIA and IIB are full-time, off-campus fieldwork experiences with emphasis on the evaluation and intervention of clients in two different occupational therapy settings. Students will apply occupational therapy theory and skills acquired in the didactic course work to clinical settings in a distance learning format. There will be weekly online interaction with the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator and/ or an assigned occupational therapy faculty member. Faculty facilitate student learning through reflective practice which takes place at a distance by means of independent study and online interaction. Each fieldwork rotation and online component will last twelve (12) weeks.
