Leadership for Grad Curriculum Reform Needed
This is a follow-up to my recent post in which I called for universities with Ph.D. programs to take the leadership for the reform of graduate education in RT.
On Wednesday, December 20, 2006, I made a related post. It read:
"I wonder if other faculty will come forward to show leadership for creating curriculum standards for graduate programs? Both the master's and doctorate programs need attention. Our sister discipline of occupational therapy is moving to a master's degree as an entry-level degree. Physical Therapy has moved to a practice doctorate. Speech and hearing has also gone to a practice doctorate. It seems time for recreational therapy to join its sister professions in giving more attention to graduate preparation. Who is willing to come forward to lead the charge?"
It seems to me that RT faculty at universities with Ph.D. programs would be the natural leaders to drive RT graduate curriculum reform. How about it Ph.D. faculty?
