3 credits
This elective course will introduce the occupational therapy student to issues surrounding a lack of access to health care, specifically occupational therapy services, for adults from an underserved population – the homeless. 150 minutes/lecture discussion will occur each week, and be supplemented by service learning based field trips. One major field trip will occur over fall break and involve volunteering at a regional homeless shelter. Throughout the semester, field trips to a local community based homeless shelter will also occur.
