The entry-level Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree program has applied for accreditation and has been granted Candidacy Status by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) located at:

6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200
North Bethesda, MD 20852-4929
(301) 652-6611

The program must have a preaccreditation review, complete an on-site evaluation, and be granted Accreditation Status before its graduates will be eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).

Program Description

The entry-level OTD program is a lockstep, full-time program that takes three years to complete. It is a 100-credit hour, face-to-face program designed to be completed in nine consecutive semesters. Students will complete the didactic and laboratory portion of the curriculum during the first two years of the program on the Lubbock TTUHSC campus. These courses prepare students with the critical reasoning, professionalism, and practice skills necessary for evidence-based process that is grounded in occupational therapy theory and practice. Students will also begin preliminary courses related to their doctoral capstone during the second year of the curriculum.

During the third year of the program, students will complete 24 weeks of level II fieldwork education, their doctoral capstone project, and a 14-week doctoral capstone experience. With admission criteria, the total time to earn the OTD degree equals a minimum of six full-time equivalent academic years (i.e., the three-year OTD curriculum and the admission criteria of an earned bachelor’s degree).

Students are required to adhere to all program, departmental, and school policies as outlined in the student catalog, student handbooks, fieldwork manual, doctoral capstone manual, and course syllabi.

Successful completion of the program leads to a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree. Once the program is fully accredited, graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist administered by the NBCOT. After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, all states require occupational therapists to have state licensure in order to practice. Licensure requirements vary by state according to practice act and state regulations that govern the practice of occupational therapy; however, state licensure is usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification exam. A criminal conviction (e.g., felony or misdemeanor) may affect a graduate’s eligibility to take the NBCOT Certification Examination or attain state licensure.

OTD Vision

To earn recognition for elevating the practice of occupational therapy by promoting our distinct value as clinicians and professionals.  

OTD Mission

To provide students with a strong foundation in professionalism, critical reasoning, and practice skills to become competent occupational therapists who use meaningful occupations to help people improve their health and well-being.

Philosophy Statement

The value of a profession lies within its professional identity and its distinct contribution to society. A deep understanding of the profession’s core subject is critical for the development of a strong professional identity and articulation of the profession’s distinct value. The core subject of the occupational therapy profession is the dynamics of occupation. Dynamics of occupation is a construct that characterizes how occupation—engagement in meaningful, necessary, and familiar activities—affects a person’s health and well-being. Dynamics are forces that influence growth, development, or change within a system or process. The dynamics of occupation can be understood as the forces related to occupational engagement that impact health and well-being.

Occupational therapists believe that being occupied in meaningful, necessary, and familiar activities is a source of health and well-being for human beings. These activities, or occupations, encompass areas that include: self-care, learning, work, play, leisure, social participation, and sleep/rest. Each person has a unique configuration of meaningful occupations that relate to their roles, habits, routines, contexts, and environments. Various life circumstances and health conditions can disrupt a person’s ability to engage in valued occupations.

Occupational therapists use their understanding of the dynamics of occupation to provide occupational therapy interventions that help people do the day to day activities that are important and meaningful to them. Occupational therapists work collaboratively with individuals, families, caregivers, and other groups whose life patterns and abilities to engage in valued occupations have been altered for various reasons (e.g., cognitive or developmental problems, injury or illness, social or emotional deficits, aging process). Occupational therapist apply critical reasoning and practice skills as they evaluate, plan, facilitate, and reflect on client care. The distinct value of occupational therapy is to improve health and well-being through facilitating participation and engagement in occupations at home, school, workplace, community, and various other settings.

Occupational therapy education must provide opportunities for students to integrate a wide range of topics learned to the core subject—dynamics of occupation—so that students profoundly understand and clearly articulate the distinct value of occupational therapy. Developing a deep understanding of the dynamics of occupations requires that students:

• Learn what constitutes an occupation and how to analyze activity demands
• Learn how to assess a person’s unique occupational profile
• Learn how to analyze occupational performance
• Learn how occupations can be disrupted, impoverished, or changed over time
• Learn how underlying neurological and physiological mechanisms that positively and negatively affect occupational engagement, performance, and participation
• Learn a therapeutic strategies, techniques, and activities to help people engage, perform, and participate in meaningful occupations 
• Learn methods to evaluate changes in occupational participation, health, and well-being

Curriculum Design of the OTD Program

The curriculum design has four major content areas (i.e., curriculum threads) that are apparent throughout the curriculum. These are: the dynamics of occupation, professionalism, critical reasoning, and practice skills.

Dynamics of Occupation

The core subject of the occupational therapy profession is the dynamics of occupation. Dynamics of occupation is a construct that characterizes how occupation—engagement in meaningful, necessary, and familiar activities—affects a person’s health and well-being. Dynamics are forces that influence growth, development, or change within a system or process. The dynamics of occupation can be understood as the forces related to (or facilitating) occupational engagement that impact health and well-being.

Professionalism

Students learn key concepts related to being a professional who is prepared to be a self-directed life-long learner; to uphold ethical standards, values, and attitudes of the profession; to effectively communicate and work interprofessionally with others; and to demonstrate active involvement in professional development, leadership, and advocacy.

Critical Reasoning

Students learn key concepts related to being a critical thinker who demonstrates the ability to synthesize information necessary for the development and implementation of theory-driven, evidence-based occupational therapy interventions.

Practice Skills

Students learn key concepts related to being a competent practitioner who can apply evidence-based evaluations and interventions to address physical, cognitive, psychosocial, sensory aspects of performance in a variety of contexts and environments to support occupational engagement and participation.

Curriculum and Instructional Design

The figure below presents a model of the program’s curriculum design. The pyramid illustrates how the curriculum design provides a framework to facilitate the the transformation of the student’s knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes throughout the program. The base of the pyramid illustrates the SCIL-OT framework and how the core subject (i.e., Dynamics of Occupation) is foundational to the curriculum and instructional design. The three sides of the pyramid illustrate the Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy framework and how the three domains of learning (i.e., cognitive, psychomotor, affective) are included in instructional design. The beam of light represents the transformation of student learning throughout the curriculum with recognition that students enter the program with knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes as represented by the icons on the right side of beam. The colored beam of light within and to the left of the pyramid represents the development of students’ professionalism, practice skills, critical reasoning, and understanding of the profession’s core subject (i.e., dynamics of occupation). These four concepts form the curriculum threads that are introduced and integrated throughout the curriculum to guide student learning and development. The curriculum threads structure the scope of the curriculum content and how the core subject (i.e., dynamics of occupation) is integral to each of the other curriculum threads. The transformation yields achievement of student learning outcomes in the areas of critical reasoning, professionalism, practice skills, and dynamics of occupation as depicted by the beam exiting the pyramid on the right.

Fieldwork

Fieldwork education is an integral aspect of our program. Students will be involved in Level I Fieldwork experiences during the first and second year in the program. Students complete 24 weeks of fulltime Level II Fieldwork during the third year of the program.

Fieldwork education consists of five experiences designed to prepare and expose the student to a variety of applied settings in occupational therapy:

• Level I experiences in pediatrics occur in association with HPOT 6240 Intervention: Developmental and Learning Models II in the Summer 2 semester. The student will actively participate in faculty-led learning experiences within the community to develop professional and therapeutic skills with the pediatric population.
• Level I experiences in mental health occur in association with HPOT 6240 Intervention: Cognitive and Behavioral Health Models in the Summer 2 semester. The student will actively participate in faculty-led learning experiences within the community to develop professional and therapeutic skills addressing behavioral, psychological, and social factors influencing engagement in occupation.
• Level I experiences in adult physical dysfunction occur in association with several courses over the first and second year. Integrated within these select courses, students apply knowledge to practice through participation in progressive comprehensive competency experiences relevant to practice in adult settings and understanding the needs of clients. Specific therapeutic competency experiences include the progressive use of simulated environments, standardized patients, and site visits.

• Fieldwork II 1: This full-time fieldwork experience typically begins in May of the third year and lasts 12 weeks. The student engages in an in-depth experience delivering occupational therapy services to clients, focusing on the application of purposeful and meaningful occupation, administration, and management of occupational therapy services.
• Fieldwork II 2: This full-time fieldwork experience typically begins in August of the third year and lasts 12 weeks. The student engages in an in-depth experience delivering occupational therapy services to clients, focusing on the application of purposeful and meaningful occupation, administration, and management of occupational therapy services. At least one of the two Fieldwork II experiences must be in an adult physical dysfunction setting. The other Fieldwork II experience may be in a different adult setting, a pediatric setting, mental health setting, or other specialist setting (e.g., hand therapy; neuro specialty).

Facilities that have occupational therapy clinical education agreements with TTUHSC may be used for Fieldwork sites. The Academic Fieldwork Coordinator provides detailed information for selection procedures. The student may provide preferences for certain setting types and for the location of Fieldwork II placements. The program has opportunities locally, across the state, and other states across the US.

Doctoral Capstone

An integral part of the program curriculum, the Doctoral Capstone (DC) provides an in-depth exposure to one or more of the following areas:

• administration and leadership,
• program development,
• education,
• clinical practice skills,
• research skills,
• advocacy,
• and theory development.

It consists of two parts: (1) the capstone experience and (2) the capstone project.

*Areas of program emphasis/specialty.

Doctoral Capstone Experience (DCE)

The DCE develops occupational therapists with advanced skills, beyond the level of a generalist, in one or more of the DC areas. The DCE occurs at a mentored practice setting known as the DCE site. The Doctoral Capstone Coordinator (DCC) will collaborate with the student to establish the DCE site and the required written memorandum of understanding. During the DCE, the student is mentored by an individual with expertise consistent with the student’s DC area of focus. This mentor, known as the DCE site supervisor, does not have to be an occupational therapist. More than one student may be present and working collaboratively at the DCE site at the same time; however, each student will have individual capstone objectives and focus.

The 14-week (560 hours) DCE, beginning in January of the third year, must be completed after completion of all coursework, Level II fieldworks, and required preparatory activities (i.e., literature review, needs assessment, goals/objectives, and evaluation plan). No more than 20% of the 560 hours can be completed off-site from the DCE site. The DCE is NOT a third Level II fieldwork. As such, the student will identify goals and objectives, requiring approval in advance of the DCE, to achieve the identified advanced skill and in-depth experience. The objectives for the DCE will overlap with the capstone project objectives; however, additional objectives and tasks specific to opportunities within the DCE site will also be developed. All DCE sites are located in the Lubbock area.

Doctoral Capstone Project (DCP)

The DCP develops occupational therapists’ capacities to engage in scholarly activities. The student completes an individual culminating product to demonstrate synthesis and application of knowledge gained in one or more of the DC areas. The DCP is a highly student-driven process; however, the student works in collaboration with a faculty capstone mentor and possibly a DCE site supervisor to develop an individual plan to achieve advanced learning objectives and produce evidence of scholarship.

The student engages in preparatory activities for the DCP during coursework and prior to the DCE that includes a literature review, needs assessment, goals/objectives, and an evaluation plan. The student must have an approved DC proposal prior to beginning the DCE. The student then engages in scholarship that supports the DCP during the DCE. Following the DCE, the student finalizes and disseminates his/her DCP. Examples of products that may document this scholarship include a written manuscript, presentation, case report, treatment manual, curriculum, grant proposal, quality improvement project report, program proposal, policy/procedure manual, video, series of marketing or educational materials, or portfolio/photo log/scrapbook. Capstones requiring IRB processes will only be granted on joint projects with academic/professional research teams. The student presents his/her DCP at the TTUHSC OTD Research Symposium prior to graduation.

Technical Standards

The Occupational Therapy (OT) program at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is a rigorous and intense program that places specific professional, intellectual, physical and social requirements and demands on the students enrolled in the program. An objective of this program is to prepare graduates to enter a variety of employment settings and to render care to a wide spectrum of individuals with physical and psychosocial impairments. The technical standards set forth by the occupational therapy program establish the essential qualities considered necessary for students admitted to this program to achieve the knowledge, skill and behavioral competencies for entry-level practice. These standards are subject to amendment based on changes in health care and the scope of occupational therapy practice.

The ability to meet these technical standards is required for admission to the Occupational Therapy program and must be maintained throughout the time a student is enrolled in the program. Applicants to (or accepted applicants for) the Occupational Therapy program will be required to verify that they understand and meet these technical standards, or that they believe that with reasonable accommodations they can meet the technical standards.

In keeping with applicable federal and state law regarding disabilities, we are committed to making reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to enable them to perform successfully in our program. Any student with a disability who is accepted to the OT program must contact Student Disability Services (SDS) in the TTUHSC Office of Student Affairs as soon as possible. SDS Staff will determine whether the stated condition qualifies as a disability under applicable laws and work with the program faculty to determine reasonable accommodations.

There are two separate and distinct components in the curriculum for the occupational therapy program: 1) an academic didactic component; and 2) a clinical/fieldwork component. Accommodations in place for the didactic component may not be the same accommodations available for the clinical component in the curriculum. The technical standards listed below are necessary functions and skills for the development of the knowledge, skills, and behaviors to provide safe and effective occupational therapy services.
