Samia Rafeedie OTD ’06

Samia Rafeedie OTD ’06

Hometown: Hamilton, OH
Program: Post-Professional OTD, Class of 2006

Track: Educational Leadership

I knew I wanted to pursue a career as an educator so while enhancing my clinical skills and knowledge of occupational science, I also took EDHP 587: Field Work in Higher, Adult, and Professional Education at the USC Rossier School of Education to learn more about pedagogy for adult learners in allied healthcare. For my OTD project, I designed a course entitled, “Integrating Occupational Science into Occupational Therapy Practice” for The Ohio State University, where I completed my residency and taught an elective course for students in the OT program. Obtaining my OTD has opened so many doors for me; it was definitely the best decision I have made for my career.

Note: Samia is now Director of the Professional Program and Associate Professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy in the Chan Division.
