Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Occupational Therapy 379 for understanding many conditions and will help students apply this knowledge in treating and educating patients with neurological disorders and neurocognitive disorders and their impact on occupation and participation. Prerequisite: successful completion of OTD 8111 and OTD 8111L (2 credits) OTD 8112L—Neuroscience and Occupation, Lab This is the lab component of OTD 8112, which introduces occupational therapy students to the study of the human nervous system’s structures, pathways, connections, and functions. The course introduces the student to basic anatomical principles of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. This will serve as the foundation for understanding many conditions and will help students apply this knowledge in treating and educating patients with neurological disorders and neurocognitive disorders and their impact on occupation and participation. (1 credit) OTD 8121—Introduction to Didactic, Clinical, and Research Experiences This course introduces concepts of human occupation and the framework for active participation in learning about evidencebased practice of occupational therapy. In addition, it addresses the history of occupational therapy and the associated influences of social, political, and economic environment throughout the life span of the profession and formally introduces the student to the delivery model of the curriculum, including the concept and their responsibilities during distance/virtual sessions, selfdirectedness, and independence. The course also serves as a preservice training on safety and health precautions as well as fieldwork placement policies, professional behaviors, and relationship to curriculum design. Requirements to participate in Level I and Level II fieldwork placements and capstone requirements are covered. (3 credits) OTD 8122—Development of Occupation and Participation Throughout the Life Span This course provides opportunities not only to learn the continuum of human development that influences health, occupation, and participation across the life span, but also to refine observation, analysis, reflection, and communication skills. The course engages the student to explore how contexts influence human occupation and quality of life and the role of occupational therapy across the life span. (3 credits) OTD 8123—Theoretical Foundations of Occupational Therapy Practice This course is an examination of the historical, philosophical, and theoretical underpinnings of occupational therapy as it evolved into contemporary practice. Emphasis is on applying various theories, models, and frames of reference and how social, political, and economic factors continually influence current and future practice and thinking. Prerequisite: successful completion of all program requirements to this point in the curriculum (4 credits) OTD 8132—Occupational and Contextual Analysis, Lecture This course focuses on analyzing occupations and occupational performance in different contexts, including applications of technology. It provides opportunities for students to engage in and analyze the projects according to their occupational demands, as well as the meaning of, and avenues for, success and occupational competence. Students not only learn to structure, adapt, plan, present, and assess occupations for therapeutic use, but also to articulate concepts and theories that influence engagement and participation, especially within cultural, personal, temporal, virtual, physical, and social contexts of occupational performance. Prerequisite: successful completion of all program requirements to this point in the curriculum (2 credits) OTD 8132L—Occupational and Contextual Analysis, Lab This is the lab that accompanies the Occupational and Contextual Analysis course, which focuses on analyzing occupations and occupational performance in different contexts, including applications of technology. The lab provides opportunities for students to engage in and analyze the projects according to their occupational demands, as well as the meaning of, and avenues for, success and occupational competence. Students not only learn to structure, adapt, plan, present, and assess occupations for therapeutic use, but also to articulate concepts and theories that influence engagement and participation, especially within cultural, personal, temporal, virtual, physical, and social contexts of occupational performance. Prerequisite: successful completion of all program requirements to this point in the curriculum (1 credit) OTD 8133—Therapeutic Use of Self in Human Interactions This course provides hands-on experiences in applying the therapeutic use of self when interacting with individuals, groups, and treatment teams. Through this course, the student designs, participates in, and runs occupation-based groups, as well as works within a treatment team. Prerequisite: successful completion of all program requirements to this point in the curriculum (3 credits) OTD 8124—Effects of Human Conditions on Occupation I This course focuses on how pathophysiological conditions affect intrinsic human factors so that students can make the link between the factors and occupational performance. It integrates information from previous foundational courses. Prerequisite: successful completion of all program requirements to this point in the curriculum (4 credits) OTD 8125—Effects of Human Conditions on Occupation II This course expands upon, and integrates information from, anatomy, medical terminology, and introduction to occupations. Additionally, this course builds on the understanding of pathophysiology and expands on the application of occupational concepts to people with disorders of, or injuries to, the immune, cardiopulmonary, urinary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, nervous, musculoskeletal, and neurocognitive systems.
