An educational revolution has begun, with the occupational therapy profession swiftly seeking to understand the complex phenomenon of fieldwork. An in-depth review of the literature will reveal barriers to success in fieldwork education, and identify opportunities to solve problems from the perspectives of all stakeholders. A capstone project will emerge from education pedagogy and occupational therapy theory solidly grounded by a new model of collaborative fieldwork education. This model forms a map to construct companion manuals, an educational resource and fieldwork curriculum designed to meet the needs of Level II occupational therapy fieldwork students and fieldwork educators in hand therapy. Backward course design of both fieldwork curriculums outcrops from accepted professional standards and compentencies, solidly linking academic education to clinical practice. Curriculum design elements are pedagogy rich with constructivist learning theory. Integration of an occupational therapy model and Frames of reference will be demonstrated, with terminology consistent with the American Occupational Therapy Assocuation's Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, third edition. Three fully developed units from the student manual showcase case-based learning in a flipped classroom, instructional technology environment. The fieldwork educator manual depicts three fully developed units focused on professional development in the role of a leader and an educator. Implementation moves toward scholarship in the form of a proposed presentation publisher to be delivered after this capstone. Wheels are already turning with the implementation of a signed authorship agreement, and this capstone project is about to be set in motion in its scholarly journey toward the AOTA Centenntial Vision.

As occupational therapy celebrates its centennial in 2017, attention returns to the profession's founding belief in the value of therapeutic occupations as a way to remediate illness and maintain health. The founders emphasized the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the knowledge about a client's context and environment, values, goals, and needs. Using today's lexicon, the profession's founders proposed a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client centered, and evidence based--the vision articulated in the third edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process. The Framework is a must-have official document from the American Occupational Therapy Association. Intended for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this new edition includes the following highlights: a redefinition of the overarching statement describing occupational therapy's domain; a new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and populations; further delineation of the profession's relationship to organizations; inclusion of activity demands as part of the process; and even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today's occupational therapy practitioners. Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that practitioners can use to meet this important goal.
