OT 577 Level I Fieldwork & Seminar: Adults & Geriatrics
The purpose of this course is for students to integrate academic learning with clinical practice. It is designed to enhance clinical reasoning processes by integrating knowledge from previous educational and work experiences with current courses and weekly fieldwork experience. Fieldwork in combination with PBL, lab, and seminar will focus on reflective processes, therapeutic relationships, ethical practice, and other professional issues for working with adult populations with a variety of needs for occupational therapy services. Self-directed, collaborative learning and class participation are essential aspects of this course. Students will engage in this fieldwork seminar during the semester. Each student will attend a six- to eight-week fieldwork experience in adult and geriatric settings.
