ET Digital UP Conclave: UP using robust tools to monitor progress of districts to achieve OTD goals
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh planning department is undertaking regular district level monitoring to gauge the progress towards the achievement of trillion-dollar economy goals, according to principal secretary, planning, programme implementation & science and technology, Alok Kumar. Speaking in a fireside chat organised as part of the ET Digital UP Conclave 2025 on Friday, he said: "The kind of diversity UP presents in its regional variations has made tracking and monitoring important while chasing the trillion-dollar economy goals. For this, OTD cells have been established at state and district levels to streamline inter-departmental coordination. District-specific targets have been defined for investments, credit flow, and project implementation. " Informing that the department has initiated surveys to enhance data accuracy, he said: "Surveys have been completed across four key districts to improve the accuracy of economic estimates by capturing data on labour force participation, unincorporated enterprises, and GVA (gross value added) per worker. Additionally, focused surveys are underway to track tourist footfall and expenditure, as well as to compile an exhaustive list of horticulture crops. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡No me lo pierdo!

West Coast University's Occupational Therapy Programs
Supplied by an entity that has paid the news provider for its placement; not impartial journalism. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. West Coast University's (WCU) occupational therapy programs provide students with a hands-on, immersive approach to learning occupational therapy. With two unique programs, the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) and the Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) programs, WCU helps equip students with comprehensive education that prioritizes both clinical skills and professional development. WCU's dynamic curriculum emphasizes client-centered care, problem-solving skills and current best practices essential for adapting to the complex needs of today's patients. This commitment to developing both the technical and interpersonal skills necessary for successful patient outcomes sets WCU apart, helping graduates enter the workforce as skilled therapists and advocates for their clients' well-being. The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy program at WCU offers a focused, flexible and supportive learning environment designed to prepare students for a rewarding career in occupational therapy. The program's accelerated 24-month format allows graduates to enter the occupational therapy field sooner. West Coast University also offers an Occupational Therapy Assistant-to-MSOT Pathway, providing a direct route to a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. With no bachelor's degree required, this pathway enables students to complete their master's in as little as two years. It allows them to build on their existing experience as an OTA, while gaining the advanced skills needed to practice autonomously. In contrast to the master's program, the 32-month Occupational Therapy Doctorate program at WCU goes beyond foundational skills to offer doctoral-level coursework focused on advanced practice skills, innovation and leadership. The OTD program culminates in a Doctoral Capstone Experience (DCE), completed in the final two trimesters. The DCE allows students to dive deep into a specialized area of practice, such as clinical skills, administration, program development, research, or advocacy. Both the MSOT and OTD programs include one to two days per week of online synchronous learning for direct engagement with faculty and classmates. OT students learn in technologically advanced facilities designed for experiential learning where they can master their skills in a controlled environment–building confidence in the process. This hands-on training is a cornerstone of WCU's approach, preparing students with real-world skills before they even begin their fieldwork placements. Faculty at WCU bring a wide range of expertise in occupational therapy, creating a rich learning environment that both challenges and supports students. Their approach is centered on a partnership that prioritizes each student's strengths, helping them thrive. This supportive atmosphere was exactly what drew WCU MSOT alumna Briana L. to WCU's occupational therapy program. As a naturally creative person, Briana was captivated by WCU's curriculum, which blends creativity with evidence-based science. Her journey into occupational therapy was inspired by her son's autism diagnosis, sparking a desire to gain the skills to help him and others lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Reflecting on her time in the program, Briana shared, "Going through a full-time master's program with two little kids was a challenge, to say the least, but one I would do over again a million times to be here today." Read Briana's full story. In addition to being fully supported academically, the Career Services Department at WCU helps support students in their careers by providing job placement assistance, one-on-one career counseling, support in developing resumes, interview skills, and job search strategies. WCU's occupational therapy graduates enter the workforce ready to make a meaningful difference in people's lives and to advance the field with innovative, compassionate care.

Hawaii Pacific University opens first mainland campus in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Hawaii Pacific University brings the Aloha spirit to Las Vegas with its new campus in the southwest valley. The expansion of the Hawaii Pacific University represents a significant milestone in the University's 60-year history – marking its first campus on the U.S. mainland. 'To be able to bring Hawaii Pacific University here to Las Vegas, which some call the 9th island… we're just happy that we can contribute to the community, build the capacity of healthcare across the region,' Tricia Catalino, Dean of Graduate College of Health Sciences, said. Shaquilla King is a part of the university's inaugural class. A graduate of UNLV, King is earning her doctorate at Hawaii Pacific University with plans to become a pediatric occupational therapist. 'It's been an experience,' King said. 'I feel like getting to see the foundation being built was amazing. We didn't start off here, but finishing here, and seeing the program develop over this short amount of time has been an experience. I love it.' The Las Vegas campus features facilities designed to support the University's Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) and Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs. Among its features is an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) suite, equipped with a kitchen, living room, and bathroom, designed to provide real-world training for OTD students. Additionally, specialized lab spaces designed for the DPT program promote interprofessional education and collaboration, equipping students to address the evolving healthcare challenges of the future. 'These are our two healthcare-centric programs that we're starting here in Las Vegas because of the great need in this region for healthcare providers, especially physical and occupational therapists,' Catalino said. The university also offers a hybrid learning experience, allowing students to engage in online coursework and hands-on lab experiences. 'We really feel that it is an accessible way to learn,' Catalino said. 'We offer hybrid health science programs which allow our students to learn from home or wherever they might be and then come to Las Vegas to have hands-on learning during their lab-based immersions.' Hawaii Pacific University is now accepting applications for its August program. Financial aid and veteran benefits are available.
