As part of the MS Occupational Therapy Program curriculum, you are required to gain practical, supervised experience in the field before graduation. Fieldwork is done at the graduate level. To fulfill this requirement, we have affiliations with more than 400 professional clinic sites in the greater Milwaukee area and throughout the US. For more information about our affiliates, contact 414-229-4713 or OT-program@uwm.edu.

If you have been asked to have a criminal background check done in preparation for placement in fieldwork, you will get instructions and an access code for completing the background check once admitted to the program.
