Happy #OTMonth!
We’re very excited about the 2016 AOTA Conference in Chicago! Want to know how our OTD program can help you achieve your professional goals? Stop by booth #3916 at the conference and you’ll be able to chat with to our OTD program advisor, as well as program directors, faculty, students and alumni who can all answer your questions and give valuable firsthand advice.
We are very proud that our post-professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to contribute to occupational therapy scholarship. Our graduates are recognized as science-driven, evidence-based professionals as shown by the nearly 40 course and poster presentations from RMUoHP students, faculty and alumni at this year’s annual conference.
