Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Occupational Therapy 2023–2024 210 Participation in Research Project The research sequence of the O.T.D. curriculum is embedded in seven courses of the curriculum, namely OTD 8121: Introduction to Didactic, Clinical, and Research Experiences; OTD 8153: Qualitative Evidence in Occupational Therapy; OTD 8154: Quantitative Evidence in Occupational Therapy; OTD 8255: Research Proposal and IRB; OTD 8256: Research Implementation—Data Collection; OTD 8257: Research Implementation, Data Analysis and Interpretation; and OTD 8358: Research Dissemination. This sequence allows the students to experience the research process from conceptualization to dissemination of results, thereby complying not only with the O.T.D. curriculum requirements, but also with the research component of the standards for doctoral-level occupational therapy education of the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE®). O.T.D.—Fort Lauderdale students are responsible for completion of these sequences, including satisfaction of all course requirements for graduation. Likewise, the student is responsible for all expenses related to the research implementation, data analysis, and results dissemination, including, but not limited to, travel costs to conference sites and the scheduled Annual Research Symposium/Colloquium at the NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus. Submission of Assignments Each course syllabus includes course-specific requirements and submission deadlines. Any assignment submitted after the assignment deadline will be subject to the consequences specified by the course instructor(s) and may affect the assignment grade and/or the final class grade as specified in the course syllabus. Assignment Resubmission The course instructor has the discretion to provide the students with the opportunity to resubmit a failed assignment with revisions as indicated and within the timeline specified by the course instructor. Incomplete Coursework A student may receive a grade of I (incomplete) in a course if the student is passing the course, based on all completed coursework to date but is unable to complete all course requirements due to documented medical reasons or extenuating personal circumstances. An incomplete will be changed to an earned grade upon a student’s satisfactory completion of the course or fieldwork requirements. A change from an incomplete to an earned grade must occur prior to the first day of the next academic year, or the student’s grade will be converted to an F. Conference Attendance and Service-Learning Requirements All O.T.D. students may be required to attend district, state, and/or national conferences or meetings as determined by the program director or as required in certain courses. Participation in these conferences and meetings requires membership to state and/or national associations or societies, and provides membership benefits, as well as contributes to professional development. Failure to complete these requirements may impact the student’s progression in the program, if not the graduation date.
