RUSH OTD Information

This entry-level occupational therapy doctoral program combines academic studies and clinical experiences to provide students with the scientific and professional education needed to be a highly trained occupational therapy practitioner. Students have clinical experiences every term, beginning with practicums, community group leadership experiences, and continuing with four fieldwork rotations, and culminating with the individual doctoral experiences and capstone project. These experiences expose students to diverse patient populations across a variety of settings, both on and off campus.
