OTD Clinical Education at MUSC

About the Experience

You can help prepare future occupational therapists and make an impact on our profession. The Division of Occupational Therapy at MUSC is always looking for new opportunities to provide clinical education for our students.

Fieldwork experiences are an integral part of the curriculum and allow opportunities for direct observation and participation in a variety of practice settings and contexts. These experiences help integrate learning from the classroom and lab and enhance capacity for becoming a proficient occupational therapist.

After completion of foundational learning and pre-clinical coursework, the curriculum culminates in two final semesters of full-time fieldwork at facilities throughout the United States. All fieldwork must be completed within 12 months of the academic coursework. Additionally, after completion of fieldwork, students have a 14-week capstone experience.
