The UAB Department of Occupational Therapy is proud to share the doctoral capstone projects of its entry-level clinical doctorate in occupational therapy degree (OTD) program students. The program’s inaugural cohort graduated in December 2023.

The doctoral capstone is the culminating experience of the OTD program. It allows students to demonstrate their ability to relate theory to practice and to synthesize in-depth knowledge in a practice or service area in which they have identified an unmet need.

These projects are an opportunity for each student to choose a topic they are passionate about and to manage and deliver a complex scholarly work within a mentored setting. These projects underscore our students’ commitment to scholarly excellence and innovation, as well as their ability to enhance community well-being through their expertise and service.
