<\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\tMeet Your Academic Fieldwork Coordinator<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGabrielle Hackenberg, OTD, MS, OTR\/L<\/a><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAcademic Fieldwork Coordinator\/Specialist Professor<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\nGabrielle Hackenberg, OTD, MS, OTR\/L<\/em><\/strong>, received her bachelor and master of science in occupational therapy from Elizabethtown College, and her doctorate of occupational therapy from Thomas Jefferson University. With over nine years of experience as an OTD fieldwork coordinator, she has coordinated student placements and educated students in all fieldwork rotations, taught fieldwork and non-fieldwork related coursework, and has assisted in developing\/restructuring fieldwork programs. A published author and presenter, Dr. Hackenberg\u2019s work has been published in the Journal of Occupational Therapy Education, and has been presented at conferences including the Annual American Occupational Therapy Association and National Academies of Practice Annual Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is your role as OTD Fieldwork Coordinator?<\/strong>
My work with students occurs in two capacities: I am responsible for coordinating the clinical education portion of the OTD curriculum, and I also have faculty responsibilities that include teaching and advising.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCan you describe the fieldwork designation process?<\/strong>
My goal is to prepare our students to be able to meet the demands of the profession by exposing them to as much as possible in as many ways as possible. I want to know what each student\u2019s individual goals are, so I meet with them both in groups and individually so they know what to expect and I know where I should be focusing my efforts in terms of their placements. While I can\u2019t promise that they will always get the type of site or location they want every single time, I do make a concerted effort to honor their preferences and input.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat should students expect from their fieldwork experience at Monmouth?<\/strong>
We\u2019re a new program, so we have a lot more in terms of up and coming topics in our curriculum and have made a concerted effort to shift our focus and expand our horizons by going back to our roots, which involves mental health and community-based care. This is reflected in our fieldwork experiences, and allows students to have the advantage of having a wide variety of exposure. They should find the fieldwork experience to be challenging, exciting, and most of all, rewarding.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
