What you'll learn

At the end of this course, the learner will be able to:

  • You will be able to recognize how the OTD capstone experience can influence employment opportunities.
  • You will be able to identify how the OTD capstone can boost overall awareness of the OT profession.

Course overview

The number of OT entry-level doctoral (OTD) programs has been expanding rapidly. In 2017 there were 7 programs. As of 2023, there are 95, with an additional 76 in development. The article presents early stage research on the doctoral capstone experience and employment opportunities. It backs up what I have now personally observed through mentoring a student: that doctoral students are uniquely prepared for more diverse job opportunities, and sometimes jobs are even created due to the clear value of the capstone experience. There seems to be a benefit for the profession as a whole, in terms of increased awareness. (Our Achilles heel!) Next week on the podcast, I'll welcome our own student, Alana Woolley, and her capstone coordinator, Daniel Rortvedt. Our goal will be to help you decide if you should be a capstone mentor, and shed light on the experience from 3 perspectives.
