In supervised settings, students apply their academically acquired body of knowledge in varied settings where occupational therapy services are provided. Under the direction and in collaboration with the OT, students will examine the application of theories and evidence to support treatment intervention in the occupational therapy process. Students will participate in all aspects of the OT process from screening to discharge planning.  Students must complete a total of 640 clinical hours.
