¸£Àû¼§ Doctor of Occupational Therapy - Honolulu Program
Hawai‘i Pacific University’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy (¸£Àû¼§ OTD) program in Honolulu, is the first and only Doctor of Occupational Therapy program in Hawai‘i! Our urban campus is in the heart of downtown Honolulu, a cultural mosaic of businesses and individuals. The lab space is situated at Waterfront Plaza, steps away from the Kaka‘ako restaurant row, beaches, and the Honolulu harbor. The Honolulu campus features a state-of-the-art simulation center, anatomy cadaver lab experience, access to advanced technology for assessment and intervention, real-life apartment space for clinical skill application, and a beautiful dedicated lab space that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
The curriculum and lab experiences are presented in an educational environment that mimics real-world therapy practices. The Honolulu program offers interprofessional education and collaboration opportunities with the Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant,and Engineering programs. Our student experience is enhanced by the unique community partnerships in place which allow students to immerse themselves in Hawaiian culture. Faculty in this program are clinical experts and well-respected leaders and scholars at the locally, nationally, and internationally.
For kamaʻāina, studying at the Honolulu campus allows them to stay in Hawai‘i for school and continue to serve the community upon graduation. Students not residing in Hawaii, will travel to the Honolulu campus for hands-on learning and the opportunity to experience the natural wonders of Hawai‘i and the unique ‘ohana they’ll join.
