Level II Fieldwork Fieldwork II consists of supervised practical experience at various agencies or institutions associated by agreement with Mercy College. It is typically completed at the end of the curriculum. A minimum of six months of Fieldwork Experience II is required in order to sit for the certification examination. Students typically complete two placements, each 12 weeks in length.
Students work the same schedule and hours as their fieldwork supervisor.
Students must complete all fieldwork experiences no later than 24 months following completion of the academic preparation. A variety of fieldwork sites are available in the tri-state area. Efforts are made to have students complete their fieldwork within a reasonable traveling distance from their home. Interested students may complete a fieldwork placement in another state. Students are assigned to fieldwork sites by the Associate Director of Occupational Therapy based upon their choices of their developmental ages, setting type, and disability population as well as the student's academic records, learning style, interests, special skills and abilities.
