Occupational Therapy Program Faculty represent diversity of education and perspective...

• Faculty draw on their expertise in pediatrics, mental health, physical rehabilitation and health administration, as well as specialty certification, to create a dynamic and rich educational experience.
• In addition to full time faculty, the OT Program employs adjunct faculty who are experts in their respective practice areas, resulting in a curriculum that is current and based in today's standards of practice.
• Most important, faculty truly enjoy their roles of teacher, mentor and coach. Each is dedicated to the profession, the community, and, especially, to the success of our students.
