Occupational therapy is about helping people do the everyday activities that matter to them — and the path runs on a strong foundation plus documented observation hours under licensed OTs. Here's the roadmap, so you can build what programs actually look for.
Observation hours under a licensed OT define the path
A strong GPA in science and psychology gets you in the running, but documented observation hours under licensed occupational therapists are the requirement that sets an OT application apart. Observe across varied settings, keep a signed log, and confirm each program's current GRE policy.
Keep going: weigh a psychology degree, compare the pre-PT roadmap, and check if it will pay off.
