OTH 7404 Fieldwork Level I (2 of 2)
The second of the two level I fieldwork experiences provides practical experience in carrying out professional responsibilities under appropriate supervision and professional role modeling in a specified setting. These settings are equipped to provide students with opportunities to apply principles learned in the academic program and appropriate to the student's learning needs. Level I fieldwork includes those experiences designed to enrich didactic coursework through directed observation and participation in selected aspects of the occupational therapy process. This experience allows the student to apply select skills acquired during semesters one through four, such as observation and activity analysis while considering the effects of disease and disability. While engaged in this placement, the student will identify appropriate goals and treatment activities and retrieve pertinent information from the medical/client/student record. This fieldwork experience, in many instances, will be the first to involve interaction between the student, the occupational therapy practitioner, and direct occupational therapy services. This experience is not intended to emphasize independent performance.
Prerequisite
Satisfactory progress in the ASU OT Program of the first three semesters.
