Fieldwork Overview

About Level II Fieldwork

The goal of Level II fieldwork is to develop competent, entry-level, generalist occupational therapists. Fieldwork education is a crucial part of professional preparation designed to promote clinical reasoning and reflective practice, transmit the values and beliefs that enable ethical practice, and develop professionalism and competence in career responsibilities. This in-depth experience provides the student with the opportunity to carry out professional responsibilities under the supervision of qualified personnel serving as a role model. This includes delivering occupational therapy services to clients, focusing on the application of purposeful and meaningful occupation and research, administration, and management of occupational therapy services.  (2018 ACOTE Standards)

Note:  Students must complete 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork as well as an individual 14-week capstone experience within 12 months following the completion of the didactic portion of the program. The doctoral capstone experience must be started after completion of all coursework and Level II fieldwork as well as completion of preparatory activities defined in 2018 ACOTE OTD Standard.

The Baylor Entry-level OTD Academic Fieldwork and Doctoral Capstone Handbook contains all policies and procedures related to Fieldwork in the Entry-level OTD curriculum.

Resource

The Entry-level OTD Level II Fieldwork Educator Manual contains important dates, policies, and procedures related to serving as a Level II Fieldwork Educator for second year OTD students.
