The Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) Program has been granted CANDIDACY STATUS by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) and is now accepting applications for fall 2017. Occupational Therapy is a growing and evolving field. With a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree from Western New England University, you can become a practitioner and a transformative leader. Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants help people across the lifespan participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Western New England University offers an Entry-level Graduate Degree program, meaning that students do not need to earn a master’s degree before applying (a bachelor’s degree is among program requirements). It also means that graduates of this program will be prepared to immediately take on positions of leadership in the field. Now is the time to be a part of the evolving field of Occupational Therapy (OT). At present, OTs have new tools to help their clients perform daily routines; recover functional abilities following injury; and live fuller, more productive lives that include: Breakthroughs in information technologies such as tele health, to remotely provide therapy to people in their homes; Advancements in assistive technologies for enhancing mobility or improving performance at home, school, or work; and Research-based innovations for improving health outcomes by working in collaborative inter professional practice teams. As an occupational therapist, you will have an impact on the lives of individual clients, with or without disabilities, by improving functional performance. As a professional leader who is equipped with research evidence and global health policy perspectives, you will be more 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 inter professional practice teams in current healthcare settings and emerging practice areas.
