Gas Cards to Support OT Students Traveling to Fieldwork
Todd Burr from the Shell Station at 21st Avenue South and Acklen Avenue is providing gas cards to the OTD and OTW students to help defray the costs of getting to and from occupational therapy fieldwork sites. Belmont University’s doctor of occupational therapy (OTD) students are traveling to clinical sites across multiple counties in Tennessee and the OTW students come from many states away. The OTD and OTW students who travel the furthest for clinical have been prioritized with the gas cards. These gas cards have been a real asset to the students as gas prices have risen. As a Belmont alumni (1991), Mr. Burr is fully aware of the needs of students. He is a strong advocate for Belmont University. Stop by his service station to buy gas or sign up for a maintenance program. His ongoing support is very much appreciated.
Free Textbooks to Support Knowledge in Caring for an Aging Population
Life Care Centers of America has donated 54 textbooks for Fall 2008 to support the OTD and OTW students learning in OTD 5220 and OTW 5170 at a cost savings of $70 per student. The Handbook of Geriatric Assessment (2006) by Gallo et al will be utilized in the classroom learning experience as well as on fieldwork and later practice. Al Trace, Vice President of University Relations and Rhodes Scott, Recruiter have been instrumental in establishing the ongoing support of the future graduates of Belmont University’s School of Occupational Therapy.
Fieldwork Stipends for Fieldwork II
Life Care Centers of America has made $100 a week stipends available at selected sites with prior approval to Belmont Master and Doctoral students as they go out on their Fieldwork II. Al Trace, Vice President of University Relations and Rhodes Scott, Recruiter have been instrumental in establishing the ongoing support of the future graduates of Belmont University’s School of Occupational Therapy.
