The purpose of this article is to explain how an occupational therapy (OT) program in a university setting developed a virtual Level II community-based fieldwork program in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic. This virtual fieldwork program, guided by the PRECEDE-PROCEED Planning Model (PPM), was designed to help keep students on track with their academic goals while providing them with experiential learning that would increase their confidence in OT program planning and promote their professional development. Outcome measures for this study consisted of a pre- and post-fieldwork survey that asked participants to rank their self-perceived confidence in five distinct areas of community-based OT program development. Some portions of Section III in the Student's Evaluation of the Fieldwork Experience (SEFWE) form were also used to examine students' feedback after participating in this virtual fieldwork program. Retrospective data analysis of pre-post survey results showed improvements in students' perceived confidence with certain aspects of OT program development in community settings. Within the core function of program development, occupation-based approaches to community-based programs can be used to inform, educate, and empower people and populations about important health issues while simultaneously offering students rich opportunities for professional development and identity. Dissemination of this information can be helpful to other OT professionals who are developing alternate fieldwork programs in response to the pandemic and beyond.
