OCTH 795A - Level IIA Fieldwork - Guided Practice

6 Credits
Level IIA is the first of two Level-II practice experiences. During Level IIA Fieldwork students apply previously acquired knowledge and skills to the more challenging Level II practice settings. Level IIA Fieldwork is designed to foster professional identify, promote clinical reasoning, and further develop communication, evaluation, and interventions skills. Level IIA is a collaborative process with reciprocal exchange between fieldwork educator and fieldwork student. Fieldwork students are expected to take initiative, be prepared on a daily basis, and be open to feedback and guidance. This fieldwork course prepares students for future clinical practice through concentrated training with emphasis on analysis of occupational performance, occupation-based intervention, and assessment of patient outcome. Level IIA Fieldwork requires a minimum of 12 weeks of full-time clinical experience under the supervision of a currently licensed (or otherwise regulated) occupational therapist.
