Message from the Program Director


Thank you for your interest in the Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.  The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center has a rich history of educating occupational therapy students for over 45 years. Our highly recognized Master of Occupational Therapy program has consistently demonstrated successful outcomes for over 25 years. We are pleased to announce that our history of excellence continues as our entry-level occupational therapy degree program is now granted Candidacy Status to transition from a Master of Occupational Therapy degree to a Doctorate of Occupational Therapy degree from the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education.    

Students in our program share an interprofessional curriculum model with our physical therapy program.  Our faculty are committed to preparing our students as competent and caring occupational therapists.  We focus not only on occupation-based person centered assessment and intervention, but also emphasize community engagement and hands-on learning opportunities. I am very proud of our dynamic interdisciplinary faculty, known for their creativity and commitment to the profession. 

On behalf of the faculty and students of our program, we thank you for your interest and we hope you enjoy learning about us as you peruse our website.  We believe you will see that it is great to be part of the OUHSC Program in Occupational Therapy.
