What is the CMU OT Graduate Program All About?

Occupational Therapy is a health care profession that focuses on helping people regain, develop or master everyday skills in order to live independent, productive and satisfying lives (Source: AOTA Website).

The profession promotes and maintains health, maximizes independent functioning, and enhances development through the therapeutic use of meaningful everyday activities.

The program will consist of didactic and clinical academic work over the course of 24 months.
