Welcome from the Chair

I am very pleased to welcome you to the Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Central Arkansas. Established in 1970, our program was the first and only program in the state for many years. As such, we have deep roots in Arkansas! Our program has established and maintained excellent learning partnerships with facilities, fieldwork educators, and community partners across the state. We prepare students to become independent practitioners capable of competently assessing and addressing the occupational needs of individuals, groups, and society in Arkansas and beyond. 

The faculty of the Doctorate of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program is dedicated to provide academic excellence, interprofessional education and community-based practice with creative and intentional experiential learning opportunities. The Doctoral Capstone and Fieldwork programs have long standing clinical and community partnerships who strive to challenge our students to become competent practitioners who will advocate and promote the profession. Our students have opportunities within the curriculum to explore individual clinical interests, develop research and capstone projects, and investigate innovative opportunities in community-based practice. These unique opportunities allow the students to define their own professional identity as therapists, researchers and leaders in the profession.

I encourage you to explore our webpage to learn about our program, our curriculum, our faculty, and our student opportunities. If you would like to learn more about our program, please contact us at otinfo@uca.edu.
