OTMS 5220 Emerging and Nontraditional Practice
Contemporary issues that impact the delivery of occupational therapy services will be examined and explored. Emerging roles for occupational therapists, as well as utilization of skills within various nontraditional and non-clinical positions, will be examined. Experiences to develop the knowledge and skills needed to function in these roles will also be provided through laboratory experiences, review of evidence-based literature, and enhancement of clinical reasoning skills. Students will become familiar with community organizations related to health/wellness, promotion, and prevention, among other topics, as well as acquire knowledge and skills in community based assessment, education, and program development.
