The broad based curriculum design is a systematic process of personal and professional development that embraces the individual student's personal vision, seeks to develop leadership qualities, and instills a commitment of service to the profession and to the community. The program recognizes the dynamic nature of occupational therapy practice and, along with the development of entry-level competence, fosters lifelong education for continued competency in ever changing roles of the occupational therapy assistant.
