Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. There is a paucity of research on student-run pro bono clinics, specifically those that offer OT services. This study has two main objectives: to gather general information about the number of current student-run OT pro bono clinics and to develop a understanding of the barriers and benefits of an OT student-run pro bono clinic from the perspective of OTD and MOT program directors from universities in the United States.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. As racial and ethnic diversity in the United States continues to grow, the need for a representative OT workforce is amplified. This study illustrates the strategies utilized by OT programs to recruit under-represented minority (URM) students into the profession and the barriers to recruiting and retaining URM students. Results were obtained from a mixed-methods survey distributed to program directors of all accredited doctoral and master's OT programs to address this topic.

Objective. This study investigated the leadership of occupational therapy program directors, the organizational health of their departments, and the relationships between them. Method. The Organizational Health Assessment was used to determine how 65 directors of accredited occupational therapy programs and 185 members of occupational therapy faculties perceived their departments’ organizational health. Additionally, faculty members were surveyed for their perceptions of their program directors’ leadership via the Leader Behavior Questionnaire. Results. Both director and faculty respondents rated their departments high in organizational health. Faculty respondents rated the overall leadership of directors as average. The overall relationship between leadership and organizational health was strong (r = .97). Conclusion. Both leadership and organizational health are evident in academic occupational therapy programs. Their relationship suggests that the programs have the components that are needed for the achievement of organizational goals, which, in turn, should positively affect occupation therapy education.
