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

3 units

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