The Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis is dedicated to guiding students in integrating academic knowledge, community engagement, and clinical experiences. Their mission is to graduate outstanding practitioners who are committed to leadership and evidence-based practice. The program offers a broad-based educational experience, preparing graduates for entry-level positions as occupational therapists in a wide range of settings or the option for specialization through continued education and training.
With a low faculty-student ratio and opportunities for individual and small group interactions, the department provides a supportive and active learning environment conducive to professional development. Students also have the opportunity to gain exposure to the professional culture of a medical center and collaborate with other health professions. The program offers a wide variety of fieldwork opportunities, both in-state and out-of-state, to further enhance students' practical skills and knowledge.
