OTA 214 - OTA Fieldwork Level II-A

6 Credit Hours

This course provides an opportunity for the Occupational Therapy Assistant student to apply didactic learning and theory of occupational therapy in a clinical setting under the supervision of an Occupational Therapist or Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. Academic and fieldwork supervisors collaborate on fieldwork objectives and experiences to ensure that the role and functions of an entry-level occupational therapy assistant are reinforced. OTA 214 must reflect a different practice area from OTA 216. Students will be assigned to different fieldwork sites or settings for each Level II rotation. Students in OTA 214 and OTA 216 are evaluated on the same assessment tool which is represented in both syllabi outcomes.

Prerequisites: Successful academic course completion is required before undertaking Fieldwork Level II-A. Students must receive an A, B or C in all required General Education courses and all previous required Occupational Therapy Assistant courses before Fieldwork Level II-A placement.
