About the Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD)

Recognizing the unique needs of our diverse student population and community, the purpose of the OTD Program at 麻豆果冻传媒 is to educate students who function as competent entry-level occupational therapists in a dynamic and diverse society and a rapidly changing health care environment.

The new OTD program is a clinical doctorate consisting of six semesters of course work followed by 24 weeks of level II clinical fieldwork and a 14-week doctoral internship with a focus on scholarship, culminating in a capstone project. The entire program, including clinical fieldwork and capstone project, is 9 semesters (3 years). The mode of delivery will be hybrid (primarily face-to-face with online education as appropriate).

The Level II Fieldwork and Capstone will occur off-site. Students must complete all Level II Fieldwork and Capstone requirements within 2 years following the completion of occupational therapy content courses.
