Level 2 fieldwork provides an opportunity to integrate academic knowledge with application skills in a variety of clinical and community work situations.

Reimbursement
There has been much discussion about recent and proposed changes in student supervision for Medicare. It can be a confusing issue. AOTA has provided the following documents which help explain the impact on student training.
- Change in Medicare Reimbursement in SNF will occur effective October 1, 2011. Line-of-sight supervision is no longer required in the SNF setting. The time the student spends with a patient will continue to be billed as if it were the supervising therapist alone providing the therapy, meaning that a therapy student's time is not separately reimbursable. CMS is currently revising the RAI Manual for the Minimum Data Set, Version 3.0 (MDS 3.0) to incorporate the policy change.
