OT Students Return to BelizeDuring the Fall 2025 semester, the USI Occupational Therapy Program took learning beyond the classroom with an international service trip to Belize with Therapy Adventures, a Chicago-based non-profit organization dedicated to delivering pediatric therapy services to underserved communities worldwide. Led by Dr. Jessica Mason and Dr. Stephanie Rexing, second-year MSOT students Kate, Izzy, Cassidy and Grace provided hands-on care to children and families.
All OT students are required to complete three, one-week level 1 fieldwork rotations as part of OT 695: Professional Practicum Seminar A and B. Mason says the experience in Belize helped raise the USI students’ level of cultural competence.
