Case studies will provide an opportunity for the student to further refine his or her clinical reasoning skills. The student learns the skills necessary to assist in the establishment and maintenance of an occupational therapy clinic, to participate in OT research and quality assurance/improvement, to become an advocate for the profession, and to become a lifelong learner. Two credit hours of lecture; two credit hours of lab.
