Application for Occupational Therapy Graduate Program at California University

Introduction

I am taking this opportunity to apply for a place on the occupational therapy graduate program at the Dominican University of California because I am interested in the topics covered at the university more specifically psychology and medical terminology courses. It is true that my interest in these two areas was aroused during my working days at Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare as well as Brookdale Senior Living. I am glad that your Course not only covers the above-stated topics but will also introduce me to new areas of Occupational Therapy and some Psychology which will help to broaden my knowledge and experience of the subject in general (Jones, 2012). I scored a good grade for my dissertation, and therefore I am looking forward with a keenness to strengthen my interest in research during the dissertation program of the course. In this regards, I am expecting to achieve high grades or a first class degree which will further demonstrate my academic ability to study at this level in this elite institution.

The other roles that I performed while at Brookdale Senior Living in the summer of 2010 were specifically as a volunteer in a skilled nursing setting where I involved myself in such activities as patient warm-ups, patient charts as well as patient exercise. All these have made me gather a lot of experience and interest in occupational therapy.
