The Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program mission is to cultivate diverse doctor of occupational therapy practitioners who understand, apply, and model with confidence the distinct values of the occupational therapy profession. This includes, but is not limited to, demonstrating professionalism, critical reasoning, best-practice skills, empathy, mindfulness, and evidence in the design, development, and implementation of occupation-based and culturally responsive interventions, and to improve occupational performance, health, and well-being of individuals and populations in traditional and emerging practice areas.
