    Neurology course grades significantly predict occupational therapy students' clinical performance. This study validates the Field Work Performance Report (FWPR) for evaluating student success in occupational therapy internships.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Therapy
    • Medical Education
    • Health Sciences

    Background:

    • Previous occupational therapy internship performance prediction studies relied on the Report of Student Performance, an instrument lacking validity and reliability testing.
    • The current Field Work Performance Report (FWPR), adopted in late 1973, has undergone validity and reliability testing, necessitating new predictive studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify significant predictors of clinical performance for occupational therapy students using the validated Field Work Performance Report (FWPR).
    • To explore the relationship between academic course grades and occupational therapy internship success.

    Main Methods:

    • Academic grades from 16 selected college courses and pre-occupational therapy grade-point averages were analyzed.
    • These academic metrics were correlated with the physical disability internship grades of 72 occupational therapy students at Colorado State University.

    Main Results:

    • Grades in Neurology courses emerged as a significant predictor of physical disability internship performance (p = .0004).
    • The study identified a statistically significant relationship between specific academic coursework and practical clinical performance in occupational therapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Neurology coursework is a strong predictor of clinical performance in occupational therapy internships.
    • Further research is recommended to confirm these findings and identify additional predictors for occupational therapy students at Colorado State University.
