As students enrolled in the t-MOT program you will be completing a scholarly project. The scholarly project involves the application of existing knowledge to practical, real life problems. (The focus is typically on clinical issues.) It involves a comprehensive literature review with the development of a product that will focus on resolving the issue. This is in contrast to the thesis, where students add to the body of knowledge by doing original research. This would involve developing a problem or question statement, comprehensive literature review, designing the method to gather data, determining the approach for statistical analysis, gathering data, analyzing the data, etc. It would also entail completing an online course on human subjects and institutional review approval. The Occupational Therapy Department has elected to have students enrolled in the t-MOT program complete a scholarly project.
