Background: This doctoral capstone experience took place at the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), a national organization for the profession of occupational therapy. The capstone student worked with the senior legislative representative from the Federal Affairs Division of the AOTA for 14 weeks. The primary function of the Federal Affairs division is to advocate for occupational therapy on the congressional level, especially federal policy that affects the practice of occupational therapy. Purpose: This capstone experience aims to determine the Federal Affairs Division’s needs and create an action plan according to them. Method: The design of this doctoral capstone project began with a semi-structured interview to collect preliminary data on relevant needs from the Senior Legislative Representative and the Federal Affairs team in achieving the goals during the 117th Congress. As a result of the needs assessment, an action plan with objectives was developed. Efforts were assessed using the Goal Attainment Scale to measure progress. Results: The results of this capstone include the enhancement in the knowledge of public policy, legislative processes, policy advocacy, and facilitating the introduction of the Allied Health Workforce Diversity Act. The capstone student also delivered several products as outcomes of this experience including One-pagers, Talking Points, action alert statements, letters of support, a comic strip in summer school guidelines, resources for COVID-19 recovery, and an advocacy module. Conclusion: The capstone student produced several legislative supporting documents to assist in moving bills forward in Congress and created a new AHWD one-pager indicating current problems regarding the lack of diversity in allied health professions. This experience also POLICY, ADVOCACY, AND OT 3 indicates the importance and necessity of occupational therapy students’ and practitioners’ participation in public policy. The paper concludes by suggesting implementing an immersive learning experience in the program curriculum.
