Field access to world-class healthcare facilities and leading practitioners
Full- and part-time fieldwork experiences are integrated at every stage of the curriculum, allowing you to continually connect theory with practice. Through the Institute’s affiliation with Mass General Brigham, you will enjoy access to leading practitioners in the Metropolitan Boston area who serve as faculty and mentors.
Fieldwork is completed in varied clinical and practice settings (e.g., acute care, rehab, school-based practice, community) with exposure to clients across the lifespan. Institute Entry-Level OTD students must complete the following fieldwork experiences, each described below:
- Five part-time fieldwork experiences (Level I Fieldwork)
- Two full-time 12-week fieldwork experiences (Level II Fieldwork)
- An Advanced Doctoral Experience (ADE) (Doctoral Experiential Component)
