Johns Hopkins Occupational Therapy provides services to acute care inpatients, outpatients, partial hospital patients and those patients on our Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (CIR). The specifics of services provided are included on the AOTA Fieldwork Data Forms. During your affiliation, you will be assigned a primary service and supervisor, although you may have the opportunity to work in some of the other clinical areas. Your schedule will depend upon patient care needs and your supervisor’s schedule and may include early evening or weekend coverage. Please inform the fieldwork coordinator in advance if you require an adapted work schedule or have special needs.
Students are responsible for arranging their own housing and meals during their affiliation. Parking options for students are reviewed during Hospital orientation. The dress code is professional but casual; either scrub sets (physical disabilities only) or regular clothing with a white lab jacket/coat are required.
When you arrive for your affiliation, the Hospital requires that you bring with you a written proof of a TB test no older than six weeks prior to your start date and verification of Hepatitis B vaccination (or declination thereof). For medical issues that may arise during your affiliation, there is an Occupational Health Clinic and Emergency Department on site.
In order for us to understand your specific needs, goals, learning style and interests, we ask that Level II students complete and return the student survey and questionnaires located on this site. During your first weeks, you will receive education on a variety of topics that relate to successful completion of your affiliation at Johns Hopkins. We expect that you will take the initiative in your learning experience and take responsibility for your professional growth as you transition from student to practitioner. Please come prepared with textbooks, relevant instructional aides or other assistive educational devices to use in your clinical experience.
Both Level I and Level II students can park at the Orleans Street Garage on the first day. Level II students should then report to Day One of Hospital orientation on the Third Floor of the Houck Building promptly at 7:30 a.m.
After the morning session, you should report to the Occupational Therapy Department as follows:
Physical Disabilities: Jennifer Mosier, OTR in Meyer 1-130
Psychosocial: Jan Jaskulski, M.S., OTR in Meyer 2-109
Level I students should report directly to the Occupational Therapy Department at the time and location designated by your immediate supervisor.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us. We look forward to your arrival and to assisting you in your clinical education.
