Level I Fieldwork (LIFW in entry-level BS/MSOT
and MSOT programs at
Level I Fieldwork introduces students to practice. It is designed to
enrich coursework through directed observation and participation in selected
aspects of the occupational therapy process. Level I Fieldwork takes a
variety of forms. Some of these experiences are part of required coursework
while others are supplemental. Below is a brief overview of the LIFW
experiences in the
Integrative
Seminar (SAR-OT500, OT501, OT502, OT530): This course runs all 4 semesters of the
program with each semester building on the previous one, and involves both
weekly fieldwork and classroom activities. Students bring their experiences
to the Integrative Seminar class for discussion to help make connections
between course-based learning and clinical practice. During the final
semester of the program, students are actively engaged in providing
occupational therapy services to individuals and groups in community
settings.
SAR-OT524 Introduction to the OT Process: Students work with
peer partners throughout the semester to get first-hand experience of the
occupational therapy assessment and intervention process in a wellness
context.

school system
