 Frontier Behavioral Health (FBH) offers Level I fieldwork placements for students enrolled in entry-level occupational therapy (OT) and occupational therapy assistant (OTA) programs. This is often a student’s first experience in a clinical setting, so the fieldwork experience is focused around three core elements: an introduction to FBH and community mental health as a setting for the practice of OT; activities that help students learn the application of their coursework in a practice setting; and exploration of the student’s professional goals and aspirations. Level I fieldwork placements typically run 16 to 40 hours, depending on the requirements of the student’s OT or OTA program. During this fieldwork placement, you may do the following: • Observe evidence-based practice in OT sessions • Learn about occupation-based assessments and interventions utilized in the behavioral and mental health setting • Practice professional interaction with clients receiving OT services • Shadow FBH staff in programs other than occupational therapy, including shadowing licensed clinicians in individual and group counseling sessions • Engage in self-reflection on the experience as a first step in professional growth and career development. Requirements for Level I OT and OTA fieldwork student applicants: • Simultaneous enrollment in an entry-level OT or OTA program that has signed an affiliation agreement with FBH • Completed online application for Level I OT or OTA fieldwork placement at FBH • Successful completion of a background check and TB test • Attendance at in-person orientation. All OT and OTA fieldwork placements at FBH are unpaid. Additionally, OT and OTA fieldwork students at Frontier Behavioral Health are not eligible for benefits or a sign-on bonus.
