Student Research
As part of the Master in Occupational Therapy curriculum, all students are required to complete a research project. The final outcome of this project is presenting one’s research in a formal setting at our research symposium and producing a research article that has the potential to be published in a professional journal.
The annual research symposium is held the first Saturday in November. Faculty, clinicians, family, interested students and all are welcome to attend. Please check back for details on that event.
