Vikas Sharma, OTD, OTR/L

Vikas Sharma, is the Program Director for the Occupational Therapy Doctorate Program here at KGI. He has been an occupational therapist for 30 years now.

After moving to the U.S. in 1996, Sharma primarily worked as an occupational therapist and as a director of rehabilitation in skilled nursing facilities. The majority of his work experience is from skilled nursing facilities, adult day care centers, and an integrated school setting. 

In 2013, he enrolled in Pennsylvania’s Chatham University, receiving his doctorate in occupational therapy. His motive was to pursue teaching to give back to the profession. He soon moved into academia, becoming a full-time professor in December 2015, and then later became the program director for the occupational therapy program at the same university.  In September 2022, he joined the KGI family. He is very excited to educate our new generation of future occupational therapists and see them grow both personally and professionally in the field of occupational therapy.
