OTR 101 - Introduction to the Occupational Therapy Profession I

This foundational course will introduce the student to occupational therapy (OT) by examining the history, philosophical base, and ethics that form the basis for the profession, enabling the student to articulate the core values and beliefs of OT. Students are introduced to concepts such as therapeutic use of self, evidence-based practice, and foundational professional documents. In addition, students will have the opportunity to observe therapy sessions in the on-campus clinic with people who are working to develop, improve, or regain function in their life skills. In-class discussions will help students to apply observations to concepts of OT practice. Course codes: AF. Prerequisite: Matriculated in OT program. Corequisite: OTR*101L.
