Fieldwork

Jessica and Tonya

Students complete five part time and full time fieldwork experiences to refine clinical reasoning and therapeutic skills while working with clients.

Level I fieldwork involves three multi-week experiences within the broad practice areas o

f occupational therapy as defined within the Sage OT curriculum framework: psychosocial settings, physical rehabilitation, and pediatric settings. These field experiences are integrated within first and second-year coursework.

Level II fieldwork involves two full time, 12-week internships during the summer and fall following the second year of study. During fieldwork students practice t

he clinical skills learned in the classroom in occupational therapy settings under appropriate supervision. The expected outcome of Level II fieldwork is entry-level therapist performance and independent practice.

To ensure breadth of learning students are encouraged to select a combination of Level I and II fieldwork sites that offer experiences with a range of client populations, treatment settings, and specialty areas within occupational therapy practice. Sage has formal agreements with over 150 clinical sites located throughout the country.
