| Annotation | The purpose of the Project was to provide an opportunity for occupational therapy (OT) and physiotherapy (PT) students to work together in an interdisciplinary team in a rural healthcare setting. Since residents who were evaluated and treated in their homes and in a community centre were all 65+ African Americans, participants had a unique socio-cultural experience. A description of the project, its goals and future plans is provided. Outcome data from participant journal entries, a questionnaire designed to study role perceptions, and a questionnaire to assess the project's results are each described. Results indicate that the Tillery Project experience was a very positive learning experience for faculty, students, and Tillery Residents, and that an increased awareness of the roles of the OT and PT disciplines were seen in the students who participated.
