The Occupational Therapy Program offers a curriculum leading to the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree for qualified students. The full-time, continuous, entry-level doctoral curriculum is designed to deliver the academic and clinical education required to prepare students for their professional role as key members of the healthcare team, and as integral practitioners in the healthcare delivery system. 

Midwestern University offers two separate Doctor of Occupational Therapy Programs:

• Arizona: On the Glendale campus, the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (O.T.D.) Program is a 27-month, full-time, continuous program comprised of 130 quarter credit hours that includes 17 months of didactic education, 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork, and a mentored doctoral capstone experience and project.
• Illinois: On the Downers Grove campus, the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (O.T.D.) Program is a 33-month, full-time, continuous program comprised of 160 quarter credit hours, with approximately two-thirds devoted to occupational therapy practice courses, fieldwork, and capstone experiences, and the remaining third focused on research, leadership, and professional development.

Upon completion of the Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program, graduates are expected to:

1. Deliver evidence-informed, occupation-based and occupation-focused services to individuals and groups to promote health, well-being and quality of life.
2. Meet the occupational needs of culturally and socially diverse individuals and communities through advocacy and leadership.
3. Develop and implement innovative programs for occupational therapy services in traditional and emerging areas of practice.
4. Engage in clinical research to facilitate promotion and dissemination of knowledge.
5. Uphold the ethical standards, values and attitudes of the occupational therapy profession in one's work, service, and ongoing professional development.

These outcomes are accomplished through:

1. A curriculum model based on intentionally sequenced courses that serve as vital links between application, synthesis, and evaluation of knowledge, skills and attitudes.
2. Intentional dynamic integration of authentic clinical experiences across the curriculum.
3. Critical application of current research and available evidence to improve occupational therapy practice and contribute to the knowledge base of the profession.
4. Occupation-focused coursework and fieldwork experiences designed to embrace critical and ethical reasoning across the lifespan.
5. Collaboration to facilitate individual and group work to develop leadership, team building, and professional skills, behaviors and attitudes.
