OT 645 - Transition from Student to OTR

This course is designed to support students in reflecting on their education and preparing for the NBCOT exam and for entering the occupational therapy profession as a licensed clinician. Students will prepare for taking the NBCOT Certification examination by exploring practice exams, review the process for applying for licensure after successfully passing the NBCOT exam, as well as will develop a first professional development plan to support their continuing competency and to promote lifelong learning. Students will consider their future possible OT roles including OT practitioner, fieldwork educator, entrepreneur, intrapreneur, consultant, educator, and researcher. This course will include the 7th module provided in collaboration with the Hynes Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation that will integrate students thinking about how entrepreneurship and innovation will fit into their career goals and plans.
