Choosing An Occupational Therapy Program From Rock Springs
The subject matter does not change by location: functional anatomy, occupational performance across the lifespan, therapeutic interventions, assistive technology, and supervised fieldwork. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
