Occupational Therapy Mission

To develop student leaders who engage in clinical reasoning, scholarly activities, and lifelong learning in order to respond to challenges in the ever-changing practice environment. As well as to prepare clinicians who believe in body-mind unity with a perspective that values the whole person in the context of her/his environment and who see the client as a developing system, engaging in occupations throughout the life cycle.
