Life as a VCU OT Grad Student

The purpose of this video is to help educate people everywhere about the incredible field of Occupational Therapy through a unique first person perspective as a student in the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Occupational Therapy graduate school program.

*Please note*:
The World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) has not endorsed, reviewed, or scripted the content and images in this video.

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), nor any other public or private institution is responsible for the content of this video.

*DISCLAIMER*: While this video aims at providing a detailed and comprehensive representation of what it means to be an occupational therapist and a student here in the VCU OT program, there is far more about what it means to engage in meaningful occupations than is portrayed in these short clips and images. The VCU OT curriculum continues to provide an outstanding inspection for students into theories and principles of what occupation is and how individuals perform it. Students have created this video for educational purposes and to show what it means to be in the OT program at VCU. Further editions and revisions will be explored to improve portrayal of occupations being instructed and the role we as students will eventually play in providing quality care in occupational therapy in our careers.
