Case-Based Learning: Clinical Reasoning and Applications in Adult Outpatient and Community Settings

3 units

In this second of a three-semester sequence, students study various health conditions and apply the occupational therapy process to cases under the guidance of a facilitator. Students integrate concepts learned in the evaluation and intervention coursework to design comprehensive evidence-based intervention plans using applicable theories, models, frames of reference and best evidence. They select assessments, plan interventions, delineate OT/OTA roles, and make discharge recommendations that are client-centered and incorporate appropriate community resources for outpatient and community settings.
