With more than 300 active fieldwork sites across the nation, Mizzou Occupational Therapy students gain experience in a variety of settings.
Fieldwork is an integral part of the University of Missouri OT and OTA curricula. Fieldwork experiences are collaboratively designed by clinical faculty, Fieldwork Educators, and the Academic Fieldwork Coordinator. Fieldwork experiences occur throughout the program, in coordination with related didactic courses.
All University of Missouri OTA and OTD students complete Level I and Level II Fieldwork placements and Doctoral Capstone Experiences in a variety of settings.
We currently have more than 300 active Fieldwork sites across the country. Students are allowed to propose new Fieldwork sites if the new sites add to the diversity of both geographic availability and the variety of practice settings available.
