Here&#8217;s more about Dr. Smallfield in her own words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am thrilled to be joining the Division of Occupational Therapy Education at UNMC! I am excited to bring my previous experience in OT and academia to this new endeavor and look forward to working with faculty and students as we begin this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After earning my master\u2019s degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1996, I worked as an occupational therapist in several adult physical rehabilitation and gerontology settings until joining the faculty at the University of South Dakota in 2003. While there, I taught course content in adult physical rehabilitation, evidence-based practice, occupational therapy theory, among others. I earned my post professional doctoral degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2007. I collaborate with AOTA on a number of systematic reviews and practice guidelines on topics including older adults with low vision, home modifications, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related disorders, and productive aging. In 2016, I joined the Program in Occupational Therapy at Washington University in St. Louis as an associate professor and assistant director of the entry level professional programs. I am actively involved professionally, serving as president of the South Dakota Occupational Therapy Association (2010-2012), the editor of the Gerontology Special Interest Section Quarterly (2013-2016), and as a member of the Roster of Accreditation Evaluators for the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (2014-present). I was named to the Roster of Fellows of the American Occupational Therapy Association in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am originally from rural Minnesota. I am married and have three teenage children; I enjoy running and other sports, spending time outside, reading, and being with family. I look forward to getting to know the UNMC community and the greater Omaha area!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stacy Smallfield, DrOT, MSOT, OTR\/L, BCG, FAOTA, recently joined our occupational therapy faculty.
