Fieldwork
Fieldwork experience provides occupational therapy students with interactive learning situations for:
- Evaluating theories
- Developing critical thinking skills
- Refining documentation competence
- Enhancing interpersonal relationships
- Utilizing problem solving strategies
- Creating additional insight into one's personal learning style
The integration of these learning experiences combined with occupational therapy coursework serve as determinants for producing a competent, entry-level clinician.
