Shadow: 
Most OT programs require at least some observation experience in an OT related setting.  ODU’s OTD program offers a virtual observation experience

Get OT experience:

• Become an OT Aide: No diploma or certificate is needed to become an OT Aide. Many clinics will train students on the job, so ask around and keep your eye out for OT Aide positions. Often if you start out by shadowing or observing in a clinic, that can be a great way to get your foot in the door to ask for opportunities to work as an aide. 
  • Interact with people or organizations with experience or work that’s relevant to OT:  

Research

Research experience can be a great way to hone your analytical and critical thinking skills, demonstrate an understanding of evidence-based practice, and can help to strengthen your occupational therapy application. 

As an R1 research institution, there are many opportunities on campus to gain research experience as an undergraduate. Look up faculty in the College of Sciences, Ellmer College of Health Sciences, and Joint School of Public Health and reach out to professor(s) whose research matches your interests.
