Students provide limited evaluations and services to clients in a therapeutic setting.
Students and supervisors negotiate assignments to reflect client needs and opportunities available in that setting. An OT intern works in a setting with clients providing the full scope of OT services, including evaluations, treatment planning, service provision, discharge planning, and representing the OT perspective on an interdisciplinary team. The intern is expected to have entry-level competence upon completion of the Level II fieldwork assignment. Local, national and international fieldwork sites are available for both Level I and Level II placements. Students in the program should be prepared to purchase professional-resource materials and pay costs for fieldwork requirements.
