课程设计

的 curriculum is organized around the core principle of participation in occupation to promote health, well-being, and social inclusion. 课程设计是为了 enable students to acquire the knowledge and competencies necessary to become qualified as a generalist in occupational 治疗实践 within four semesters of graduate academic study and six months of supervised fieldwork experience. 有广泛的曝光 to current and emerging practice areas with a wide range of populations, conditions, 和年龄.

Students receive a strong foundation in the concept of occupation early in the program and subsequent coursework is structured to provide a holistic orientation to occupational 治疗实践.  Participation in occupation is the desired outcome for all recipients of occupational therapy services. Participation in occupation is broadly defined, so courses address practice in a variety of settings, both traditional and emerging. 的 addition of a two-course sequence in community-based practice provides strong linkages to the local community, including programs where occupational therapy has not traditionally been available, and provides students with a variety of opportunities to engage with clients and service providers in creative problem-solving contexts.

A lifespan orientation to occupational 治疗实践 was chosen rather than organization according to traditional practice areas in order to emphasize the holistic nature 当代实践. Course content addressing professional behaviors and research/evidence-based practice provided throughout 课程 assists students in advancing critical analysis and leadership skills. 的 curriculum supports the mission and vision of the department and the university in preparing occupational therapy leaders who serve their communities through both scholarship and practice.

  1. Occupation—the core of the profession
  2. Foundations for occupational 治疗实践

  4. 社区实践
