Department of Occupational Therapy

 

To Educate: OT’s educational curriculum experiences include theory, practice, assessments and interventions, hands on skills, documentation, management and supervision courses, research projects, leadership development and fieldwork experiences.

 

To Discover: All OT students participate in scholarship activities and analyze evidence based occupational outcomes in order to positively impact the health of the people we serve. Research and scholarship experiences translate evidence based outcomes to improve population health, community benefits, and the OT profession.

 

To Care: The educational experiences are designed to provide client and family centered care through excellence in all service delivery, advocacy, and leadership roles. MCG‘s Department of OT has a commitment to quality and ethical care in order to meet the health care needs of a widely dispersed and diverse population.
