OT 574 Topics in Adults & Geriatrics

This course will examine current topics and trends and occupational therapy's role when working with adult and geriatric populations, building on knowledge acquired in the previous two trimesters. This course will supplement the lab and PBL components of the program's adult and geriatric curriculums and require students to reflect on lab and the PBL scenarios, and apply that knowledge to other 'like' cases. The intention is for students to consider theories and evidence to make informed decisions about evaluation and intervention strategies and to develop sound clinical reasoning and decision-making skills.
