A path through the countryside was selected to depict our curriculum design. This representation specifically reflects our geographic setting (Iowa) and the livelihood of many of our residents and students (farming). Additionally, the image conveys a general understanding of life as a journey. Our curriculum is built on a strong liberal arts foundation as depicted by the ground underneath the path. The bricks in the path represent the curricular threads of health, occupation, professionalism, and ethical integrity. Students may explore the scenery around them through a variety of field experiences, independent study, or special topics courses. As they travel through the curriculum, the scenery and their understanding of it will change. They will be able to stop and reflect on their past experiences, seeing things that they missed when they initially explored these areas. Also, the seasons will change, requiring students to adapt and adjust to increasing demands and the changing practice environments. The path is ongoing, denoting the need for continued growth and development as they move from novice occupational therapists to experts in their chosen area.  (This image was created by artist Stan Herd.)
