The more I read this, the less I understand!
From SJSU's website:
Minimum of 80 hours volunteer experience or paid work experience in at least 2 different types of healthcare, education, or social service settings; 60 of the hours must be completed under the supervision of an occupational therapist. Applicants are also required to complete a minimum of 20 hours at a community agency under the supervision of a community agency supervisor (i.e., teacher, administrator, nurse, social worker, etc.) in addition to completing the 60 hours under the supervision of an OTR/L. Examples of community agencies include schools, churches, health care agencies, social-service groups, adult day centers, advocacy groups, community mental health agencies, services for the developmentally disabled, and homeless shelters just to name a few. If the student prefers, all 80 hours can be completed under the supervision of an OTR/L.
Question:
I asked 2 OTRs in 2 different healthcare settings (SNF, acute care hosp) to fill out SJSU's Evaluation form on my behalf. Total hours exceed 80, each is more than 20.
Do I still need 20 hrs in a community setting, since neither of these health care settings is considered a community agency, or am I good under "If the student prefers, all 80 hours can be completed under the supervision of an OTR/L" ?
How do you interpret this?
TIA!
