This capstone project is a fieldwork (FW) manual for use with level II occupational therapy students entering the practice area of hand therapy. Its contents explore the issues and attitudes seen today as a result of generation gaps and enlist strategies for the fieldwork educator to utilize to bridge the gap between generations. The manual provides information on understanding student learning styles and strategies to implement that can reduce challenges in the FW setting. Its purpose is to educate clinicians and ease the perceived burden that clinicians feel regarding taking on a level II FW student by providing a process through the use of a FW manual that will create a systematic approach to fieldwork education.
