Patty Stutz-Tanenbaum, M.S., OTR
Fieldwork Coordinator

Patty has spent her 17 years at CSU working with OT students in the fieldwork program. As Fieldwork Coordinator, Patty's role is to facilitate student development of professional identity through practical hands-on experience. Patty's interest is with providing experiences in diverse environments during fieldwork.

Patty also works with OT faculty to develop fieldwork seminars, where small groups of students participate in faculty facilitated classroom seminars and participate locally in the community in level I fieldwork experience. Recent fieldwork seminars have focused on the role of OT in public schools, working with older adults and leisure activities with people who have disabilities. Patty also provides support with mediation and conflict resolution.

Patty's private time is spent attempting to keep up with her adolescent son who plays ice hockey and spending time with her husband, a physician in nearby Longmont. She also loves to jog and hike in the mountains.
