Research education

PhDs and other research degrees with a formally documented occupational therapy or occupational science focus.
A PhD is a research degree. It is not an entry-level OTD and does not by itself qualify someone to practice.

Research degree with an OT focus

A research degree where an official university page documents an occupational therapy or occupational science focus. Evidence on the official page: Interdisciplinary rehabilitation science doctorate; occupational therapy is named as one of five emphasized rehabilitation domains.

About this program
