Faculty & Staff
As an occupational therapy student, your instruction will come in both the classroom, where you’ll collaborate with professors in innovative labs and simulated clinical settings, and the field, where you’ll gain real-world experience working alongside seasoned professionals.
Our faculty have OT experience in a wide range of settings – including schools, outpatient clinics, healthcare centers and hospitals – and are committed to teaching the latest OT practices through hands-on instruction, interactive online activities, and in-class discussions.
