Occupational Therapy Department

The occupational therapy profession combines a holistic perspective with evidence-based practice to improve the quality of life for patients and families in their daily activities at home, work, and in the community. From the first day of class at A.T. Still University (ATSU), students are immersed in the Occupational Therapy Department’s comprehensive curriculum infused with the professional philosophy of occupational therapy as well as the tenets of osteopathic medicine centered on whole person healthcare that integrates the body, mind, and spirit. This heralded approach optimizes health, well-being, and participation in meaningful activity.

ATSU’s occupational therapy programs are always looking for new, highly qualified, high-quality training sites. If you know of a facility interested in providing rotation or internship positions for occupational therapists, please contact academic fieldwork coordinator, Lacee Andrews, OTD, OTR/L, CNS at laceeandrews@atsu.edu or 480.245.6255

Occupational Therapy in Action
The occupational therapy curriculum facilitates the student’s ability to examine and explore activities that are meaningful throughout a patient’s lifespan and involve them in activities within the contexts of home, work, school, play/leisure, and community.
...
The curriculum includes “hands-on” experiences encompassing community-service learning to allow students additional opportunities for practical application of coursework. Students work cooperatively with other members of the healthcare team and in collaboration with the individual’s entire support system to fully understand how to eliminate barriers and meet healthcare goals. The small class size allows for more direct interaction between students and faculty.
