Occupational Therapy

Institute for Occupational Therapy

The doctor of occupational therapy (OTD) program consists of coursework, field experiences, and mentorship programs designed to enable students to become ethical, contemporary occupational therapy practitioners who adopt the values necessary to:

• Work interprofessionally to contribute to the vitality and well-being of the community or individual served
• Utilize evidence to inform professional reasoning and decision-making
• Practice using a client-centered, occupation-based approach
• Collaborate with individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations to identify culturally relevant personal and communal goals
• Strive to maximize the fit between the individual and their personal, social, cultural, physical, virtual, and community environments
• Serve as leaders in their community
