• Resource, educator, mentor and leader to others in the community that they serve

• Strong emphasis on the experiential component to develop advanced skills as a practitioner
• Facilitation of outcomes-driven, occupation-based OT practice which is relevant to current healthcare demands
• Opportunities for projects that relate theory to practice and a focus on the ability to synthesize this advanced knowledge within the medical rehabilitation setting
