The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences are proud to announce the AOTA accredited and approved Acute Care OT fellowship.
Ohio State Wexner Medical Center accepts one fellow for a 12 month-long program that begins every August. The OT fellowship supports the missions of both the AOTA and Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, by preparing clinicians to understand the complex acute care patient in many different service areas of the hospital. This will be accomplished via mentored learning to enhance specialty skills, knowledge and professional behaviors in the field of acute care to improve the lives of patients.
The fellow will have the unique opportunity to treat patients with diverse acute diagnoses across several unique areas of the hospital.
- Acute care rotation includes time within the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular diseases, SICU, MICU, liver and kidney transplants, burns, and other units
- Regular fellowship conferences and rounds
- Teaching in the Division of OT entry-level OTD program
- Scholarship opportunities
- Collaboration with OSUWMC OT and PT post-professional programs
In addition to clinical time, the fellows will spend time as an instructor and mentored colleague in our nationally-ranked Doctorate of Occupational Therapy Program. As one of the most established and respected OT programs in the country, we boast outstanding faculty that are committed to promoting scholarship, leadership and evidenced-based practice in occupational therapy.
