This specialized course is tailored for educators, administrators, and students within Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) programs who aim to integrate and enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices within their curricula and institutional cultures. The course delves into the unique challenges and opportunities presented by DEI in healthcare education, particularly focusing on occupational therapy.
Participants will explore the importance of DEI in shaping effective and compassionate healthcare professionals who can serve diverse communities with sensitivity and competence. The curriculum includes a detailed examination of historical and systemic inequities that impact health outcomes and how these can be addressed through informed educational practices.
Through engaging multimedia content, guest lectures from DEI experts in healthcare, and interactive discussion forums, learners will examine case studies that highlight successful DEI implementations in OT programs. The course also emphasizes practical approaches to curriculum development, student engagement, and community collaboration to foster environments that value inclusivity and accessibility.
This course provides a vital platform for OTD stakeholders to critically analyze their current practices, develop strategic DEI goals, and implement changes that create more inclusive educational experiences. By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to lead and advocate for meaningful DEI initiatives within their programs and professional practices.

My name is Sheena Benson and I am a third-year entry level occupational therapy student at Drake university in Des Moines, Iowa. This Udemy course is a dissemination of my capstone project that I completed on campus at Drake’s University OTD program. My area of interest is inpatient rehab and I have a specific interest in the Geriatric population. I plan on pursuing inpatient rehab at encompass health in Coralville, Iowa. I hope to use the information I have learned in the near future when I am ready to teach other OTD students!
