In the entry-level Doctor of Occupational Therapy program, you can become a practitioner scholar and a transformative leader. Occupational therapy is a growing and evolving healthcare profession whose practitioners assist individuals and communities to perform everyday activities (occupations), adapt environments to improve function in home, work, or leisure settings, and provide client-centered support for participation in life. As a professional leader equipped with research evidence and global health policy perspectives, you will be broadly positioned to: impact populations with or without disabilities; advance community health outcomes; and influence the development of future occupational therapists as members of collaborative interprofessional practice teams in current healthcare settings and emerging practice areas such as telehealth remote therapy, assistive technologies, or research-based innovations developed by collaborative interprofessional practice teams.
Why Choose Doctor of Occupational Therapy?
As the first occupational therapy program in western Massachusetts to offer an entry-level doctorate we welcome our role as visionaries and embrace our responsibility to establish innovative benchmarks in graduate professional education that others will follow.
