Extractions: Included in the category Academic SupportOther are various support activities that are operated and administered in conjunction with schools and departments. These partially self-supporting activities provide basic clinical and other support essential to instructional programs, and contribute significantly to the quality and effectiveness of health sciences and general campus curricula. State support is an essential part of the income of these clinical activities. Among the clinical facilities that support health sciences programs are two dental clinics (Los Angeles and San Francisco) with off-campus community dental clinics, occupational health centers in the north and in the south, the veterinary medicine clinical teaching facilities at Davis and in the San Joaquin Valley, an optometry clinic at Berkeley, and two neuropsychiatric institutes (Los Angeles and San Francisco). In addition, a number of demonstration schools, vivaria, and other activities provide academic support to health sciences and general campus programs. Most of these facilities provide experience for students as well as valuable community services. Their financial support is derived from a combination of State funds, patient income, and other revenue. Description of Programs The on-campus and community dental clinics at Los Angeles and San Francisco serve primarily as teaching laboratories in which dental students and graduate professional students enrolled in the schools of dentistry pursue organized clinical curricula under the supervision of dental school faculty. The community dental clinics provide a spectrum of teaching cases that are generally not available in the on-campus clinics. The dental clinics give students actual clinical experience and a broader perspective in determining treatment plans, thereby enhancing the required training in general and pediatric dentistry. While providing valuable clinical experience for students, the clinics also serve to meet the dental health needs of thousands of low-income patients, many of whom would not otherwise receive dental care.
Extractions: Contents Past Catalogues Related Links ... Courses of Instruction PDF version of this chapter The Ph.D. in Occupational Science educates individuals to engage in the scientific study of human occupation, the purposeful activities that constitute our life experiences. This important new science is chiefly concerned with the unique capacity of humans to develop adaptive skills, such as tool use and related occupational behaviors, and to choose and orchestrate daily occupations. It also seeks to understand the function, structure and interrelationship of these occupations and their impact on individuals and institutions. The focus on occupation distinguishes this program from closely-related disciplines such as psychology, sociology and anthropology. The program emphasizes the development of research skills and encourages students to organize and synthesize knowledge to contribute to occupational science theory, as opposed to therapeutic application. Applicants for admission to the Ph.D. program are expected to have a baccalaureate degree in an appropriate field, such as one of the biological or social sciences or occupational therapy, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (A = 4.0) and a minimum score of 1100 on the verbal and quantitative sections of the Graduate Record Examinations. At least three letters of reference must also be submitted. Other considerations include evidence of academic potential based on master's level study (if relevant), research skills and interest, and a statement of purpose. International students must demonstrate competency in English, as measured by the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination.

The department emphasizes the role of air, water, the built environment, and the workplace as critical determinants of health. Faculty members in the department study the pathogenesis and prevention of environmentally produced illnesses and act as catalysts for scientifically based public health advances. Research approaches range from the molecular to the epidemiologic. The Department of Environmental Health focuses on complex problems that require the contributions of many specialties. The department's faculty, research staff, and students reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field and include chemists, engineers, epidemiologists, applied mathematicians, physicians, occupational health nurses, physiologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, and microbiologists.

Extractions: Guidelines on External Academic Activities for Primary Faculty Members In conjunction with the university's policy on outside activities, ( Statement on Outside Activities of Holders of Academic Appointments ), the Harvard School of Public Health has created specific guidelines governing the external teaching and research activities of faculty members whose primary academic appointments are at HSPH. These guidelines apply regardless of the source of salary. Some involvement outside of the university is both appropriate and an established aspect of academic life. These guidelines are intended to reflect the university's expectation that primary faculty members will commit their principal professional efforts to Harvard and that their outside professional activities will not conflict with obligations to students, colleagues, and the university as a whole. Each faculty member is responsible for being familiar with university and school policy and for ensuring that his or her activities are consistent with that policy. HSPH faculty members engage in many kinds of academic work, in many different settings. These guidelines are thus presented as categories of activities ranging from innocuous to potentially in conflict with university policy. The categories take into account such factors as the extent of time commitment, intended use of scholarly products, and degree to which an activity is performed for competing institutions or educational enterprises. The listing below cannot anticipate every specific case but should be seen as an illustration of general principles.

Extractions: Graduate School ... Students can prepare for a career in occupational therapy by completing a B.A. at Luther with a major of the students choice and prerequisite courses in the arts, sciences, and social science, followed by graduate study in a university program leading to a masters degree in occupational therapy. Occupational therapists work with individuals who have conditions that are mentally, physically, developmentally, or emotionally disabling, and help them to develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. They not only help clients improve basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also compensate for permanent loss of function. Their goal is to help clients have independent, productive, and satisfying lives. Occupational therapists assist clients in performing activities of all types, ranging from using a computer, to caring for daily needs such as dressing, cooking, and eating. Physical exercises may be used to increase strength and dexterity, while paper and pencil exercises may be chosen to improve visual acuity and the ability to discern patterns. A client with short-term memory loss, for instance, might be encouraged to make lists to aid recall. One with coordination problems might be assigned exercises to improve hand-eye coordination. Occupational therapists also use computer programs to help clients improve decision making, abstract reasoning, problem solving, and perceptual skills, as well as memory, sequencing, and coordinationall of which are important for independent living.

Revised 2001 The Engaged Classroom is a combination of video and Web-based activities. The series was developed at Western Illinois University with funding provided through a U.S. Department of Education Star Schools grant. It follows the Engaged Learning model by using video, small group discussion, large group interaction, and individual projects to help the classroom teachers understand how to incorporate the Engaged Learning Model into their specific educational setting. The Engaged Classroom has been used with a large number of classroom teachers to meet their Engaged Training needs. The series contains three videotapes: (1) "Re-Evaluating Assessment," (2) "Developing Student Potential," and (3) "Emerging Teacher Roles."
