Our Grad 3 students recently began their second Level 2 fieldwork rotation, but we want to take a moment to look back at their first! VCU partners with a wide range of occupational therapy settings across Virginia, as well as some out of state. Guided by licensed OTs, our students transition from classroom learners into entry-level practitioners during these rotations. We are so proud of our Grad 3s’ progress and can’t wait to see how they excel in their second placement!💛🖤
