This course will prepare students to develop a Doctoral Capstone Plan. Students will continue the planning for the doctoral experiential component during this course. All students are assigned an academic mentor from the BU OT Dept. core faculty who students will work with throughout this course. Students and academic mentors, with input from peer mentors will collaborate to identify a focused/realistic OTD doctoral experiential component plan and identify potential doctoral experiential projects and practice settings. Students will review gaps or shortcomings in current occupational therapy practice and work with their assigned mentor to identify their focused area of interest. Students will identify necessary knowledge and skills to achieve their goals and develop an initial plan for the OTD Doctoral Experiential Component. By the end of the semester, you will have an outline of the proposed focus area, as well as a draft of the mentor agreement- which will need to be approved by your academic mentor. Assignments in this course will lead to the completion of Capstone Competency Tasks.
