Julie Dorsey

I am a graduate of the Occupational Therapy Department at Ithaca College and have been a part of the faculty since 2006. I have worked in the field of adult and geriatric rehabilitation in a variety of settings, including hospital, outpatient, community based, and long term care facilities.  My specialty area is ergonomics, and I am a Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (CEAS).  I am also interested in community based programming and health and wellness, and have worked to develop a partnership to provide occupational therapy services at the Ithaca Free Clinic.

I teach a variety of courses including: Adult Evaluation Processes, Adult Intervention Processes, Kinesiology Lab, Occupations and You, OT in Life Skills (at the Center for Life Skills), and Health Care and Culture. In the past I have taught Geriatrics and a graduate level community based practice course.

I am from Long Island originally, but fell in love with Ithaca and never left after graduating! My husband and I enjoy gardening, spending time with our 2 dogs, and visiting all of the great downtown restaurants!
