POTD 599: Independent Study Student: 1 Credits: 3 This course is an opportunity for motivated occupational therapy students to become involved in a course of study under the direction and guidance of faculty in order to: a) pursue, in depth, an area covered more generally in curriculum; b) explore a topic not normally covered in the curriculum; c) provide occupational therapy services to diverse and underserved populations, or d) assist with or conduct research in an occupational therapy area of practice. In all cases, it is the student's responsibility to fully identify the topic, acquire enough information to ensure its worthiness for independent study and negotiate for several offerings of this course.
POTD 651: Research Proposal Students: 3 Credits: 3 This course is the second of a series of research courses. Emphasis of this course will be placed on developing critical research consumers and building a solid foundation in research. This course will examine evidence-based practice, explore the relationship among theory, research and practice and gain an understanding of the research process. Both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies will be introduced and students will begin to understand numerous research designs. Critical knowledge and skills in research will be highlighted. Research literature in occupational therapy will be critically examined.
POTD 701: Capstone 1: Research Implementation Students: 3 Credits: 3 This course is a continuation of the POTD Research Proposal course. The research proposals developed in the Research Proposal course will be implemented in this course. Emphasis is placed on the first-hand experience of the research process (recruitment of participants, data collection and analysis, etc.) Students will collect all necessary data and analyze data during this course. Students will critically analyze and solve problems encountered during the proposal implementation process, which will be closely monitored by the course instructor to ensure research integrity.

TEACHING PRIOR TO CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY
University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse (Master’s of Science OT) OT 530/531: Occupational Performance Analysis Students: 26 Credits: 3 This course examines key concepts used in the description and analysis of occupational performance. This form, function, and meaning of occupations will be explored in relation to performance areas, process skills, activity and occupational configurations, client factors, and contextual issues. Task analysis, selection and grading of activity, the teaching/learning process, compensatory techniques, and occupation as therapeutic ends and means will be explored and applied in relation to the design and implementation of treatment with various populations in traditional and non-traditional settings.
OT 640: Assistive Technology Students: 26 Credits: 2 This course will refine skills in clinical decision making and task analysis, grading, adaptive equipment fabrication, and the therapeutic use of high and low technology in OT treatment. Computer technology and specific tool use will be emphasized.
OT 641: Health Care Systems Students: 26 Credits: 2 This course is designed to offer further depth in relation to advocacy skills, which will be examined and practiced as part of the change process in the contexts of client care and professional leadership.
OT 661: Applied Mental Illness Students: 26 Credits: 2 This course will include the study and hands on application of occupational dysfunction as a result of mental and cognitive dysfunction.

Group process, assessment and treatment techniques, and documentation specifically for this population will be explored.
OT750/751: Scholarly Practice II: Occupational Therapy Research Students: 26 Credits: 3 This course is the second in the series of research skills courses. It is designed to help the students apply previously learned statistical information to occupational therapy literature. Students will become familiar with research methodologies typically used in occupational therapy and will become skilled consumers of scholarly literature through extensive reading, analysis, and discussion of occupational therapy literature. Topics covered include reading scholarly articles, literature searching strategies, research methods, ethical research, and application/interpretation of statistical data.
OT 760: Scholarly Practice III: Research Seminar Students: 26 Credits: 3 This course is the third in the series of five Scholarly Practice courses. It is designed as a seminar course that provides the opportunity for students to participate in research data collection and analysis. Students will participate in various data collection exercises through lab experiences, and will create a culminating paper and poster that describes their process and results
OT 775: Critical Analysis of Practice I Students: 26 Credits: 3 This is the first of a two-part experience with problem-based learning. Working in small groups students will use critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and reflective practice to process case studies. These cases will be typical to occupational therapy practice and will require synthesis of material from several courses. Problems may relate to the occupational therapy process, ethical issues, supervision, etc. All cases will develop critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills that will be required of occupational therapists practicing in today’s health care arena.
OT 776/777: Occupations and Interventions: Older Adults Students: 26 Credits: 3 Occupational performance in the aging population will be explored with emphasis on the impact of disease or injury in the older adult population from diverse backgrounds. Specific focus will be on analysis of sociocultural, environmental, and personal life roles of the elderly as well as those disease/dysfunction processes that frequently impact this population. Students will practice the occupational therapy process of observation, evaluation, analysis, and treatment of this population during the laboratory component of this course.
OT 785/786: Adult Clinical Practice Students: 26 Credits: 3 Note: I developed this new course. This course is a synthesis of all courses from the curriculum. Students are given the opportunity to implement the OT process, select, administer, and interpret evaluation tools, develop and implement treatment interventions, practice clinical reasoning, measure outcomes, and improve documentation skills while working with adults with chronic conditions. Students will integrate theory, evidence, and clinical skills while being client-centered and occupation-based through all aspects of the OT process.
