Claire M. Dolislager, DrOT, MS, OTRL, CLT-LANA is a Visiting Professor at Grand Valley State University. She has been practicing occupational therapy since 2014. She is a graduate of Grand Valley State University's entry level master's program and completed her post-professional doctorate in occupational therapy in 2022 at St. Catherine University. Claire's primary area of practice is oncology and lymphedema, though she also has experience in neurologic rehabilitation and acute care. She became a certified lymphedema therapist in 2016 and earned her LANA® certification in 2017. Claire is passionate about improving client understanding of the cancer process – diagnosis to survivorship and beyond – and advocating for the role of occupational therapy in addressing barriers to participation at any point in that process. Claire enjoys teaching in clinical and academic, inter- and intra-professional settings. Her research interests include demonstrating the effectiveness of occupational therapy services, prehabilitation models of care, and preparing entry-level occupational therapists for addressing the unique needs of oncology clients.
