Who's who - OT - KEAN University

Sarah Levin, a graduate student in the occupational therapy program, is currently completing a three month internship in Columbus, Georgia with the United States Army. Sarah requested this unique fieldwork placement to develop more understanding of the occupational therapist's role within the US. Army Hospital.

As the first occupational therapy student from Kean University to intern at Martin Army Community Hospital, Levin is gaining exposure in the wide-ranging rehabilitation issues facing our soldiers. Under the direction of five occupational therapy supervisors, she provides treatment to soldiers after deployment who have experienced trauma and/or injuries from war. Sarah described deep fulfillment in her fieldwork placement as she said, “Working with the Army has shown me that this is definitely the career path that I want to pursue."

After completion of this fieldwork and successful completion of the NBCOT exam, Sarah has expressed an interest in pursuing her education by applying into a clinical doctorate program. The faculty and students take great pride in her accomplishments and are excited to watch her career unfold in the upcoming years.
