Department Of Occupational Therapy

Genesis Triplett, a doctoral student in the department of occupational therapy, provided life-sustaining CPR to a neighbor in need through the Pulse Point Foundation.

Occupational therapy students provided education and resources to help drivers in our community "fit" better in their vehicles.

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may benefit the health and safety of drivers across the driving lifespan, but perceptions of drivers are not known. Lived experiences of drivers exposed to AVs in combination with surveys, can more accurately reveal their perceptions.

From the data of 123 Veterans, GIS analyses of transportation needs for rural Veterans, and current VA practices, we will develop a VA centric roadmap with recommendations for adopting and deploying autonomous shuttles (AS) as a mode of community mobility for rural Veterans.

Raghuveer Chandrashekhar (mentor: Hongwu Wang, PhD) is one of five inaugural PHHP student recipients of the college's Ph.D. Fellowship in Artificial Intelligence program.

The Roster of Fellows Award recognizes occupational therapists who have made a significant contribution to the profession.

The gift will support tuition for a student enrolled in the UF Certificate in Driver Rehabilitation Therapy program housed in the department of occupational therapy.
