Description

Opportunity Time Frame:

  • For OT fieldwork rotations this is a 12-week internship consisting of 40 hours per week beginning in January and running for 12 consecutive weeks. The start date is flexible.
  • For OTA fieldwork rotations this is an 8 week internship consisting of 40 hours per week beginning in January and running for 8 consecutive weeks. The start date is flexible.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Current student of an accredited Occupational Therapy Institution
  • OT students are Masterโ€™s or Doctoral degree level and OTA students are Associates degree level
  • Student must be enrolled at an academic Institution that has an existing contract with Sheppard Pratt.

Learning Model:

Supervision to student ratio is a group of students (6-10): 3 Clinical instructors (2 onsite, 1 off-site faculty). The educational philosophy of the OT program at the Residential Treatment Centers is based on an adult learning/self-reflective, group supervision model as a guide for these learning experiences. Personal and group supervision, both with on-site staff and with university faculty members via video-conferencing help to ensure that each individualโ€™s learning needs can be met fully and in an individual manner. Self-reflection, self-evaluation, and peer critique help to keep these fieldwork experiences focused on learning, not on teaching.

Student Expectations:

Student expectations include self-directed learning; independently seeking learning opportunities and feedback, flexible thinking and adaptability. Readiness to learn from all experiences. Patience and compassion when working with this challenging patient population.
