Book excerpt: Level II fieldwork experience is an essential factor in preparing a student for clinical practice as an entry-level occupational therapist. While many fieldwork educators readily take on the supervising and mentoring role for the student, there exists a gap between the students' book knowledge and applying their skills into clinical practice. In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education, a primary purpose of fieldwork is to disseminate students' clinical reasoning through occupation-centered, evidence-based practice, and cultivate proficient entry-level occupational therapy practitioners. This evidence-based project guides the fieldwork student and fieldwork educator through a level II syllabus, encompassing the Centennial Vision and the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, 3rd Edition, while integrating the student's learning style to effectively enhance the fieldwork experience in preparation for clinical practice.
