About Krusemark

Cortni Krusemark, OTD, OTR/L, is the Program Director and Assistant Professor for Briar Cliff University’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program, a position she has held since joining the university in 2019 as its founding director. The program, which launched with its inaugural cohort in mid-June, utilizes a block curriculum model that integrates community-centered experiential learning from the first year at the Briar Cliff Clinic and culminates in extended clinical rotations of 8 to 14 weeks. Krusemark earned her Bachelor of Arts in Health Science from Wayne State College in 2003 and her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Creighton University in 2004. Following graduation, she provided occupational therapy services in Omaha for individuals with brain and spinal cord injuries before relocating to the Siouxland area in 2009. There, she served as an Assistant Professor at Creighton University and as Therapy Clinic Director at Twelve Clans Unity Hospital in Winnebago, Nebraska, for ten years, working across diverse settings including rural, outpatient, sub-acute, neurorehabilitation, acute trauma, and academic environments. She also functioned as a clinical instructor during this period.
