OT Program Overview

For MSOT, "Master of Science of Occupational Therapy," what we're doing is we're doing student-led therapy services. So this gives us an opportunity to enhance our learning, and we find what we're learning in the classroom to real-world situations. Since we're in a rural area, this is the probably the most effective way to be more hands-on with our community.

Our ADL apartment is a simulation lab where we have a bedroom, living room and bathroom, where we're able to carry out real-life situations with our patients. The simulation apartment really helps students because it gives that real-life application to what you're learning. It enables me to take those real-life examples and apply them to my job as an OT.

I'm very happy to be part of the Occupational Therapy program. And there is a section in our department that we all students enjoy, and that is the glass gathering area. It is a room where we can sit down, and we do group work, and also eat, and study at the same time.

I am a mother and sometimes when I drive home, it's kind of hard for me to have time, you know, to study, but once I'm here in school, I try to use that room as much as I can to be able to, you know, get my work done.
