Occupational Therapy Fieldwork Student- Level I

Frontier Behavioral Health • Spokane, WA

9d • Onsite

About The Position

Frontier Behavioral Health (FBH) offers Level I fieldwork placements for students enrolled in entry-level occupational therapy (OT) and occupational therapy assistant (OTA) programs. This is often a student’s first experience in a clinical setting, so the fieldwork experience is focused around three core elements: an introduction to FBH and community mental health as a setting for the practice of OT; activities that help students learn the application of their coursework in a practice setting; and exploration of the student’s professional goals and aspirations. Level I fieldwork placements typically run 16 to 40 hours, depending on the requirements of the student’s OT or OTA program.
