On-site Fieldwork Supervision

The contractual agreement between the Institute and the fieldwork site outlines the responsibility of the fieldwork facility to supervise the students directly during the fieldwork experience.

 

Level I fieldwork supervision
For Level I fieldwork, qualified personnel supervisors may include, but are not limited to, currently licensed or otherwise regulated occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, psychologists, physician assistants, teachers, social workers, nurses, and physical therapists.

Level II fieldwork supervision
For Level II Fieldwork, students must be supervised by a currently licensed or otherwise regulated occupational therapist who has a minimum of 1 year full-time (or its equivalent) of practice experience subsequent to initial certification and who is adequately prepared to serve as a fieldwork educator. The supervising therapist may be engaged by the fieldwork site or by the educational program.
