Fieldwork Educator Incentives

The faculty of the University of North Dakota view fieldwork as an essential component of the student's learning process. We know that student learning is enhanced when there are multiple connections between faculty and students, and between faculty and fieldwork educators. We value opportunities to recognize and support your teaching and clinical expertise, and opportunities to partner with you in developing quality learning experiences for our students. To this end, we have identified our top incentives for you to offer fieldwork learning for UND OT students.

Incentives

UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences library privileges are now available upon your request.
Opportunities to participate in research publications and presentations with OT faculty and students.
