Julie Bednarski has more than 30 years of clinical experience related to multi-disciplinary/multi-site rehabilitation management and older adult rehabilitation in acute- and skilled-nursing settings.
Bednarski’s professional focus includes wellness programming for community dwelling adults. She also engages in the promotion of occupational justice for older adults living in nursing homes and within the community.
In terms of research, Bednarski is most interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, with emphasis on OT doctoral capstone experiences. Along with her OT colleague Elizabeth Deluliis, she recently published the textbook, The entry-level occupational therapy doctorate capstone: A framework for the experience and project. This book informs practice on the OT capstone to faculty, students, and community partners. Bednarski wants to develop meaningful student engagement opportunities within the community and measure corresponding student outcomes.
