职业治疗硕士

职业治疗始于1917年，是一个健康领域，致力于个人在自我护理，工作和休闲（例如穿衣，做家，工作和重装）方面从事日常工作的能力。其目标是帮助人们实现自己独特的，理想的生活方式。它需要了解个人，了解他们的目标，并确定创造性的方法，以使他们达到理想的独立性和生产率水平。这项工作是高度个人化和创造性的。除了直接与客户打交道外，职业治疗师还经常与其他对客户重要的人进行咨询，以适应客户的生活方式或环境。职业治疗师还为自己或他人设计实施方案，他们代表客户及其家人发言，并参与研究。这个为期28个月的计划将于秋季学期开始。
Occupational Therapy, which began in 1917, is a health field that focuses on individuals' ability to do their everyday occupations in self-care, work, and leisure (such as dressing, homemaking, working, and recreating). Its goal is to help people achieve their own unique, desired lifestyles. It requires getting to know individuals personally, understanding their goals, and identifying creative ways to allow them to reach their desired levels of independence and productivity. This work is highly personal and creative. In addition to working directly with clients, occupational therapists often consult with others important to the client about adapting the client's lifestyle or environment. Occupational Therapists also design programs for themselves or others to implement, they speak on behalf of clients and their families, and they participate in research. The 28-month program begins fall semester. A part-time option is available for students who wish to complete the program in three years.
