The doctoral capstone is a student led experience with a focus on in-depth learning and application of occupational therapy principles and knowledge.  The students complete a mentored capstone experience and project during the fall and spring semesters of their third year in the entry level doctoral program.   This experience is meant to transform students into the profession’s next-generation leaders in practice, academia, research, advocacy, and policy.  OTD students will emerge as effective change-agents who successfully propel the profession forward in a way that ensures society’s occupational needs and wants are met.
