This course is designed for the OTD student to develop entry level practice skills in the assigned practice area through application of theory and techniques learned in didactic curriculum. Level II fieldwork consists of two, 12-week, full-time (approximately 480 hours) experiences. Students are assigned to a supervised practice-based experience, in a traditional practice setting, where they apply their didactic and prior practice-based knowledge while gaining hands-on experience in the OT process across the lifespan. Students will actively demonstrate the ability to engage in ethical practice, apply critical reasoning, and demonstrate professionalism for entry-level practice.
