Advance your Occupational Therapy career by earning your Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD).
Occupational Therapy, 作为一种职业, needs practitioners with the 领导 and evidence-based practice skills to meet the needs of our ever changing healthcare system and society. The OTD also provides licensed practitioners with advanced skills in scholarly inquiry and a foundation for a career as an academic faculty member.
Shenandoah University’s Division of Occupational Therapy offers an innovative online graduate program leading to a Post-Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate degree.
This program is designed for practicing registered occupational therapists who have obtained a masters degree and want to advance in 领导 and develop as evidence-based scholars. The focus of this interdisciplinary clinical doctoral program is to develop students’ knowledge in occupational science, 领导, and the application of teaching and learning strategies. The program is offered entirely online through asynchronous interaction with instructors and a cohort of students, allowing students the flexibility to earn this degree from any location.
