378 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Occupational Therapy study. Implementation of the research study begins and is, ideally, completed by the end of this course, but, may continue into the next term. Students continue to report the status/ progression of their research studies, identifying barriers or challenges. Through regular reporting, students gain the ability to explain and discuss their research findings in preparation for the final course, dissemination. (1 credit) OTD 8263L—Research Project I Lab—Data Analysis and Interpretation This lab course, associated with OTD 8263, provides students with opportunities to (a) select, apply, and interpret quantitative or qualitative or mixed methods research, and critically analyze evidence that informs occupational therapy practice; (b) contribute to the development of a body of knowledge and evidence-based decision making in the pursuit of knowledge that is responsive to human problems and societal needs; and (c) synthesize evidence and prepare scholarly reports and presentations for disseminating research information and manuscripts for possible publication. Under the direction of the research faculty, students apply the four interrelated areas of Boyer’s scholarship (e.g., scholarship of discovery, scholarship of integration, scholarship of application, and scholarship of teaching and learning) and may design or modify research instruments that include equitable evaluation strategies. (1 credit) OTD 8391—Level II Fieldwork Experience This course is a 12-week, supervised internship in an approved practice setting. Prerequisite: completion of formal predoctoral certification courses (9 credits) OTD 8392—Doctoral Certification and Capstone Upon completion of all formal predoctoral certification and Level II Fieldwork Experiences, the student must pass a competency-based examination. After successfully passing the examination, the student has the opportunity, through this course, to reflect on the academic and clinical components of the curriculum, including planning for the culmination of the capstone project, and receives an introduction to the doctoral experiential component. Prerequisite: successful completion of 12 credits of Level II Fieldwork Experiences (2 credits) OTD 8364—Research Project II: Dissemination This is the final course of the seven-course series on research and culminates with scholarly activities for students to disseminate a comprehensive, well-informed study (e.g., systematic reviews, secondary data analysis, observational, case study, qualitative) based on their research project. The project demonstrates synthesis of in-depth knowledge in the focused area of study and involves critical analyses and sustained adherence to ethical procedures in human-subject and/or educational research or research related to population health. (2 credits) OTD 8393—Level II Fieldwork Experience This course is a 12-week, supervised internship in an approved practice setting. Prerequisite: completion of formal predoctoral certification courses and OTD 8391 (9 credits) OTD 8494—Doctoral Capstone, Reflections, and Exit Colloquium This 16-week doctoral experiential component provides the student with the opportunity to develop advanced skills, e.g., beyond a generalist level in an approved specialization area for clinical practice skills. Other options include in-depth experience in one or more of the following research skills: administration, leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education, or theory development. The course concludes with the dissemination of the capstone project, an exit colloquium, and reflection on the student’s doctoral education. Prerequisite: doctoral certification (12 credits) OTD 8111—Movement in Occupation, Lecture This course focuses on principles of biomechanics, joint kinematics, joint kinetics, and muscle function to enhance understanding of normal human motion. It provides opportunities for students to develop skills in analysis and assessment of muscle strength, joint range of motion, and movement in context of occupational performance. Experiences in the analysis and assessment of movement, such as muscle strength and joint range of motion required to engage in meaningful and valued occupations, are addressed and explored. This course provides the student with opportunities to articulate the connection between movement and occupational performance. (3 credits) OTD 8111L—Movement in Occupation, Lab This is the lab that accompanies the Movement in Occupation course that focuses on principles of biomechanics, joint kinematics, joint kinetics, and muscle function to enhance understanding of normal human motion. The course provides opportunities for students to develop skills in analysis and assessment of muscle strength, joint range of motion, and movement in context of occupational performance. Experiences in the analysis and assessment of movement, such as muscle strength and joint range of motion required to engage in meaningful and valued occupations, are addressed and explored. This lab provides the student with opportunities to apply concepts taught in the movement course to analysis of occupations and articulate the connection between movement and occupational performance. It also explores the connection between muscles, joints, and engagement in occupations. (2 credits) OTD 8112—Neuroscience and Occupation, Lecture This is a neuroanatomy course to introduce occupational therapy students to the study of the human nervous system’s structures, pathways, connections, and functions. It introduces the student to basic anatomical principles of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. This will serve as the foundation
