The online five-day PreOT program will provide participants interested in an occupational therapy career a chance to explore the profession through a diverse range of voices and experiences. Students will learn about the broad scope of occupational therapy—what occupational therapists do, where they work, and the populations they serve. Additionally, participants will learn about innovative and emerging occupational therapy practice areas that support health and well-being. Interactive and hands-on learning, as well as asynchronous learning activities, will enhance the understanding of the meaningful work of occupational therapy professionals. Participants will be able to reflectively consider a variety of occupational therapy career paths, educational options, and what is needed for a competitive application. Students will also learn tools to support their own wellness in educational contexts.
