Occupational Therapy Capstone Presentations

The occupational therapy capstone is a culminating experiential course which allows the doctoral student to enhance skills in advanced clinical practice, scholarship, administration, leadership, advocacy, program and policy development, education, or theory development. The field experience may occur in a traditional or non-traditional site, and the student is expected to perform in-depth skills in their area of focus.
