How the University of Minnesota Streamlines Fieldwork Coordination and Accreditation Readiness

Managing OT fieldwork has become increasingly complex.  

Between placement coordination, competency tracking, evaluations, and accreditation reporting, many OT programs struggle to keep pace using spreadsheets, email, and disconnected systems. At the same time, the 2025 ACOTE Standards are raising expectations around documentation, visibility, and compliance. 

Join Dr. Traci Kruse from the University of Minnesota and PeopleGrove for a practical conversation about what it actually takes to modernize fieldwork management. 

In this session, you’ll hear:  

• Where bottlenecks show up in fieldwork management and their impact on accreditation readiness 
• How CORE by PeopleGrove centralizes placement coordination, evaluations, competency tracking, and reporting  
• What implementation and adoption looked like at the University of Minnesota  
• The measurable impact on administrative efficiency and accreditation readiness  

Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming accreditation review or simply trying to reduce manual work for your team, this session will provide actionable insights from a real OT program’s experience.
