Defining the role of authors and contributors. icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and -contributors.html Participation in Fieldwork Experiences and Doctoral Capstone Experience The fieldwork component of the curriculum accumulates to more than 2,000 hours of clinical education comprising community field trips, Level I and Level II fieldwork experiences, and the culminating doctoral capstone experience. Students are responsible for any travel or lodging expenses related to these clinical education experiences, which on certain occasions may require a short or long commute, across or out of state, depending on availability and program need. The student receives information about the clinical education and doctoral capstone component of the program during the New Student Orientation weekend, and continues throughout the program through ongoing communication with the clinical, doctoral, and community relations administration and staff member comprising the academic fieldwork coordinator, the doctoral capstone coordinator, and the fieldwork support coordinator. The first course where the student receives information about clinical experiences is OTD 8101: Introduction to Didactic, Clinical, and Research Experiences, which introduces the student to the three major components of their doctoral education, one of which is clinical. The course provides not only information on community field trips related to coursework, Level I fieldwork, and the doctoral residency, but also the paperwork process for fieldwork placement, required background checks and immunization, rules and regulations in health care, safety precautions, and preventive measures. OTD 8281: Business of Practice and Management and OTD 8282: Professional Leadership provide training in documentation and ethical and role delineation aspects of clinical practice, among other topics. Participation in Level I fieldwork (FWE-I): Three intervention courses prepare the student for FWE-I experiences, namely OTD 8271: Occupational Therapy Interventions I—Psychosocial and Community; OTD 8272: Occupational Therapy Interventions II—Children and Youth; and OTD 8273: Occupational Therapy
