Kristin Domville – OTD, MOT, OTR/L – OT Faculty Profiles, USAHS
Kristin Domville, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, is an occupational therapy faculty member at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) campus in Miami, Florida. For Kristin, every intervention starts with an occupational profile, a picture of a person’s values, life history and experiences, and from there an intervention plan is built around the daily activities that matter most to that client.
Kristin’s clinical work centers on neurorehabilitation and adult rehabilitation, with practice in home health, outpatient and hand settings, plus time with adults living with mental health diagnoses at an adult day center. As doctoral capstone coordinator, Kristin now guides students through the capstone process, drawing on their clinical skills and critical thinking to build leadership and scholarship.
The part Kristin enjoys most is watching USAHS graduates use those skills to push for societal change and become agents of change in their local, national and global communities.

[00:00:00] Kristine Domville (OT Faculty): So as an occupational therapist, we look at a person through an occupational profile, and that occupational profile tells us that individual’s values, their life history, their experiences. And from there, we then create an intervention plan that is all around those activities of daily living that’s valuable to the client or the individual. [00:00:25] My main experience as an occupational therapist is in neurorehabilitation and adult rehabilitation. I have had practice in home health settings, outpatient settings, hand settings, and I have also worked with individuals who have had mental health diagnoses that were attending an adult day center that was affiliated with one of my adult rehabilitation centers that I was in. [00:00:54] As the doctoral capstone coordinator, I facilitate students through their capstone process. So I enable them to use knowledge, professional skills, clinical skills, critical thinking skills to build leadership in them and also become scholars within the OT profession. But mostly what I love and enjoy the most is to see how these students take these skills, and they inform the OT practice on how to make societal changes. How, as a student who graduates from the University of St. Augustine, can then become an agent of change at their local, national, global community.
