  1. Increasing Awareness through Connections of Scholarship OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY Students – Faculty - Clinicians Dr. Angela N. Hissong, OTR/L Occupational Therapy Education Specialist

  2. The Domain of Occupational Therapy Occupational therapists & occupational therapy assistants focus on assisting people engage in daily occupations that they find meaningful and purposeful • Guiding Principles = Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (2002) • Occupational Analysis • Person (Agri-Worker) • Environment(Farming Operation, Home and Community) • Occupations(All of the daily meaningful tasks that a person engages in) • Occupational Performance = Person/Environment/Occupation Triad • Objective = Stabilize and/or Enhance a Balance of Work, Rest, & Leisure

  3. 1b.1 Provide Level I & IIFieldwork Experience to OT Students

  4. OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTIONS OF SCHOLARSHIPFieldwork I & II ExperiencesResearch Projects • Occupational Therapist – Master’s (Entry) • Occupational Therapist – Master’s (Professional) • Occupational Therapist – Clinical Doctorate (OTD) • Occupational Scientist – Research Doctorate (Ph.D./Sc.D.) • Fieldwork Level I (15 to 40 hour one time experience) • Fieldwork Level II (8 to 12 week 32 hours/week experience) • Research-Based Project (Master’s or Doctoral Thesis)

  5. Fieldwork I ExperienceConceptual Notion Thus Far… • PA AgrAbility Occupational Therapy Education Specialist (OTES) will work with OT faculty to design a fieldwork level I experience to match the needs of the related course… • AgrAbility OTES On-Campus Demonstration • Case Study-Occupation Based Analysis & Recommendations • Utilization of Local Resources • Farming Operation – Ag Dealer – Veterinarian – OVR • Pre & Post Agriculture-Occupations Checklist for Students

  6. Fieldwork II ExperienceConceptual Notion Thus Far… • Recruitment of Master’s & Doctoral OT students in PA • Suggest this be the 2nd or 3rd FW experience for the student • FW II Experience Length: 8-12 weeks (negotiate with student) • Currently Emerging Practice Fieldwork Experience EducationalStandards require 6 hours/weekly supervision by an occupational therapist. The new standard in January 2007 will more than likely be 10 hours/weekly supervision by an OT. • Fairly Structured Fieldwork Experience

  7. Fieldwork II Experience Application Process • The candidate completes the application (to be designed). Two reference letters from academic or clinical instructors are to be included with the application. • The student writes and submits an essay describing his or her interests; a description of prior (or anticipated) fieldwork experiences; information about related projects or activities; and the rationale for requesting a PA AgrAbility fieldwork experience, as well as expectations, and objectives for the experience. • The potential supervisors will review the application and essay. A telephone interview will be scheduled. • A letter of acceptance or denial will be sent to the student and her or his academic fieldwork coordinator. If the student is accepted, the notification will include confirmation of dates, information about PA AgrAbility work policies, and instructions for the first day. Upon receipt of this packet, the student should contact his or her designated contact person to discuss objectives and expectations.

  8. Conceptual Structure Fieldwork II • Week 1: Introduction to Key Personnel, Policies & Procedures of PA AgrAbility (specific daily tasks) • Week 2: With OT to go over conceptual foundations of agri-occupation based components • Week 3/4: With PSU AgrAbility, PA AT & Easter Seals • Week 5: Spend time in field with vet, ag dealer, & OVR • Week 6-9: Be responsible for investigation of a minimum of 4 cases in relation to OT components (Note: This case could be hypothetical from a previous time – OTES will design a “CSI” type module for this component) – Actual case(s) would be optimum! • Week 10: Preparation & complete a presentation of cases from an occupation-based perspective to AgrAbility Personnel Additionally, the student will keep a daily event-reflective journal of the experience and design a learning portfolio of resources.
