Fieldwork Educator Capstone Mentor

Fieldwork and Doctoral Capstone are integral parts of the eOTD program curriculum. The UTRGV occupational therapy program is always looking for experienced individuals to join us in educating our students.  If you are interested in being a fieldwork educator or capstone mentor below are resources.   

Occupational Therapy fieldwork experience is a dynamic educational process in which occupational therapy students can experience the roles, responsibilities, and rewards of facilitating occupational therapy services.  Numerous fieldwork education and supervision resources are available on The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) website: https://www.aota.org/Education-Careers/Fieldwork.aspx
