OTD-551: Immersive II - Physical Rehabilitation I

This course builds on the foundational principles to prepare students to develop and implement evidenced-based, and client-centered intervention, related to the OTPF 4 areas of occupation for a variety of clients and diagnosis, along the continuum of practice settings. Lab experiences will promote critical analysis and facilitate growth of a clinical skill set. Case based learning will be used to promote clinical and ethical reasoning to determine the appropriate intervention approach for a particular client. Competency in entry-level intervention skills are emphasized throughout the course in preparation for Fieldwork experiences. During the semester, students will complete a Level 1 or practicum experience (OTD 559). The experience will provide direct exposure to specific clinical aspects of occupational therapy in a selected adult fieldwork setting. This practicum experience will prvide an opportunity to observe and practice the knowledge and skills gained during the integrated OTD-551 and OTD-559 experience. Pre-requisite: OTD-542. [ 4 credits ]
