The curriculum for a Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (PP-OTD) combines required and elective courses to ensure that students have a similar foundation for success while specializing in an area of their choosing. The required courses prepare students to develop programs, become leaders, explore entrepreneurship, provide evidence-informed care, and take on faculty roles. A strand within the required courses enables students with their chosen faculty mentor to develop, refine, and implement their substantive doctoral project. The doctoral project-related courses are taken sequentially. Students choose electives that match their interests and goals from a menu of options at Jefferson, within the PP-OTD program and the Advanced Practice Certificates. These include topics such as autism, coaching, cultural humility, leadership, neuroscience, and teaching adults. The program can be completed on a part-time (1-3 credits per semester) or full-time (4-6 credits per semester) basis, which affects the length of completion of the program. Students may change from full-time to part-time status and vice versa at any time. The program must be completed within seven years from initial enrollment. All classes can be completed entirely online.
