ABSTRACT The Centennial Vision makes it clear that the profession of occupational therapy is facing challenges that require members to move beyond clinical excellence toward larger health care initiatives (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2007). Accomplishing this goal requires the development of professionals with leadership skills. The focus of the doctorate in occupational therapy at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) hits this mark. In this paper, we describe the development process of a postprofessional occupational therapy doctorate focused on building leaders. To exemplify putting the Centennial Vision in action through education, we describe courses and content, and offer examples of the capstone leadership project and data describing students' experiences with becoming leaders.
摘要 百年愿景明确指出，职业治疗专业正面临挑战，这要求成员超越卓越临床水平，投身更大规模的医疗保健倡议（美国职业治疗协会，2007年）。要实现这一目标，需要培养具备领导技能的专业人员。弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）的职业治疗博士学位项目正是着眼于此。在本文中，我们描述了一个专注于培养领导者的专业后职业治疗博士学位的发展过程。为了举例说明如何通过教育将百年愿景付诸实践，我们描述了课程和内容，并提供了顶点领导力项目的实例以及描述学生成为领导者经历的数据。
