    The LeMoyne College Occupational Therapy Program is seeking facilties to host graduate level interns in central New York.

    “We are seeking clinical sites where our students will be able to fulfill
    the Level I and Level II Fieldwork requirements of this program and become
    exposed to all the areas and contexts where they will impact a client’s
    life as an occupational therapist. To briefly differentiate, Level I
    Fieldwork provides an introduction to the fieldwork experience while
    familiarizing students with a variety of clients and contexts of
    intervention. These experiences occur 1x per week for 10 weeks for a 4 hour
    time frame and students can be overseen by any qualified professional
    including but not limited to nurses, social workers, PT/PTA’s, OT/OTA’s
    etc. While, Level II fieldwork is an on-going supervised clinical
    experience in which the emphasis is on the application of the academically
    acquired body of knowledge. In this Level II experience students are
    supervised by a licensed or registered occupational therapist with a
    minimum of one year of practice experience and the experience is full time
    (40 hours per week) for 12 weeks.”

    This internship program for LeMoyne students comes from a new Master’s level program in Occupational
    Therapy, with a strong emphasis on Mental Health.
