Occupational Therapy Fieldwork Education: Value and Purpose for Fieldwork Students

Have you ever wondered about the benefits of sponsoring a fieldwork education program at your facility?

Here are a few mentioned by AOTA:

  • Propel each generation of occupational therapy practitioners from the role of student to that of practitioner.
  • Students learn to apply theoretical and scientific principles learned from their academic programs to address actual client needs within the context of authentic practice environments
  • Provides opportunities for the student to develop advocacy, leadership, and managerial skills in a variety of practice settings.
  • Recruitment of qualified occupational therapy personnel.
