Neurologic Occupational Therapy Fellowship

Overview:

As a world-class organization on the cutting edge of evidence-based practice and professional development, the Brooks Institute of Higher Learning offers what was the first AOTA-accredited OT Neurologic Fellowship Program in the state of Florida. Our program is now currently one of only two AOTA-accredited OT Neurologic Fellowships in Florida and ten in the country.

Our AOTA-approved Neurologic Fellowship program starts in July and runs just over a year. Fellows-in-training rotate through various neurologic care settings within the Brooks Rehabilitation System including Inpatient Brain Injury, Stroke, and Spinal Cord Injury Programs, as well as, our outpatient Neuro Recovery Center. Throughout each care setting, fellows-in-training treat a full caseload and receive a 40-hour/week salary. Components of the fellowship include didactic coursework and instruction, 1:1 clinical mentoring and supervision, and directed learning activities. As part of the professional development curriculum, fellows-in-training complete multiple clinical case studies, provide laboratory instruction for OTD students at Jacksonville University, and serve as Fieldwork Educator to a Level II OT student. Additionally, residents and fellows-in-training from all of the Brooks IHL post-professional programs comprehensively participate in foundational courses, allowing for the development of professional relationships with colleagues of various specialty practice areas.
