Department of Occupational Therapy New market opportunities as well as significant growth in the depth and scope of occupational therapy practice in a highly industrialized society call for advanced education in a number of areas. Rehabilitation means all the process to help those who lost their proper activities of their body and mind in the community and economic field. As a part of the process, programs in Occupational Therapy have been renowned for the clinical expertise its graduates bring to the professional setting. The program prepares therapists who are dedicated to helping people achieve well-being through occupation. The term "occupation" represents the flow of activities that fill a person's life and that has an effect in his or her health. Occupational therapy is particularly concerned with how people construct meaningful lives individually and in community. In the view of Occupational Therapy, well-being is achieved through an active, dynamic and evolving balance between the person and his or her environment. Occupational therapists intervene when illness, disability, or social constraints threaten the person's ability to actively create or find that balance in his occupation, including production activities and leisure activities. Because Occupational Therapy views people as multidimensional beings, it blends knowledge from the biological and social sciences into a unique, distinct and holistic profession. In order to use occupation strategically, occupational therapists use their expertise in how the body, mind and spirit work together to produce occupations as simple as feeding oneself or as complex as leading a hundred-piece orchestra. The program prepares graduates to fulfill all the duties of occupational therapists while helping them become transformational leaders of the profession. As a graduate, student will be qualified for employment in the health industry, the rehabilitation centers, and schools as a counselor. He will also have a chance to continue his study in the graduate school. [Go to Homepage]
