The University of Southern California (USC) Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy is very pleased to announce the 2017 USC Summer Occupational Therapy Immersion (SOTI) program.  We have greatly enjoyed welcoming students to SOTI from Kaohsiung Medical University in the past, and we would be delighted to continue to welcome your students next summer.

SOTI is a four-week summer program designed for international occupational therapy (OT) students and practitioners who are interested in learning more about OT practice in the United States.

In this program, students will:

• Gain an empowered understanding of OT in the United States through lectures and clinical site visits.

• Be introduced to occupational science and USC's cutting-edge research by our renowned faculty.

• Network with Los Angeles-based OTs practicing in both traditional and emerging practice areas.

• Develop a global perspective of occupational therapy, health, and wellness by meeting peers from approximately 20 different countries.

The 2017 SOTI program will be held from June 30 – July 28, 2017.   Tuition is $3500, and housing will be provided free of charge to all participants. 

Applications are being accepted now until March 15, 2017, and can be submitted through the SOTI program website at http://chan.usc.edu/academics/global-initiatives/soti.
