Clinical and Professional Reasoning Development in Level II Fieldwork: Occupational Therapy Assistant Students’ Perception
Download PDFJun 21, 2022
Occupational therapy academic programs are tasked with preparing
occupational therapy assistant (OTA) students to develop and use
clinical and professional reasoning in practice. A component of
this academic education, Level II fieldwork (FW), develops clinical
and professional reasoning by allowing
students to practice this skill. Although numerous studies have
investigated this topic in occupational therapy students, only one
small study has previously investigated this in OTA students during
Level II FW.
