How to Become an Occupational Therapist

Video Transcript

"The task of becoming an Occupational Therapist begins with completing your four year degree that is your Baccalaureate Degree. Most people interested in a Bachelor's Degree will complete or major in a science program but that is not required. Upon completing their Baccalaureate Degree they will apply to a Master's Program in Occupational Therapy. This is an additional two year program for your under-graduate degree. Upon completing their Masters or the under-graduate work in Occupation Therapy the incumbent will need to do practical work typically under the supervision of a practicing Occupational Therapist. Upon completing their internship for their supervised period of work they can sit for their State Licensing Exam to become a Certified Occupational Therapist."
