MOT FIELDWORK INFORMATION 

Gain real-world experience that bridges textbook learning to clinical practice. Muskingum’s MOT program embeds Level I and Level II fieldwork across the lifespan, helping you grow confidence, competence, and career readiness.

FIELDWORK STRUCTURE

  • Students complete four faculty-led Level I rotations focusing on mental health, pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics.
  • In Level II fieldwork, you’ll do two 12-week full-time placements in professional OT settings.
  • The program strives to place Level II fieldwork within a 90-mile radius of your home, though site availability and geography may influence placement.
  • Level II rotations are full time: plan accordingly for your work, finances, and logistics during those terms.

ROLE OF THE ACADEMIC FIELDWORK COORDINATOR

Through a collaborative relationship, your Academic Fieldwork Coordinator understands your interests, strengths, and professional goals, and then matches you with fieldwork placements that best support your development as an emerging occupational therapist.
