At 麻豆视频 OT our primary goal is to graduate excellent, highly qualified and competent occupational therapists. All of the master鈥檚 level accreditation requirements that lend themselves to this goal are exactly the same for the master鈥檚 degree as for the entry-level doctoral degree. The intention of the OTD is to increase knowledge and understanding of emerging areas of practice and requires in-depth [beyond entry-level] exploration in one or more of the following areas: Clinical practice skills, research skills, administration, leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education, and theory development (see the 2018 ACOTE飪� Standards and Interpretive Guide for more information: )

While we believe that students should have the choice between degrees based on their career goals and aspirations we decided to focus our initial efforts on developing an excellent, student-centered clinical program.
