What are the opportunities for financial assistance? Do you have teaching assistant positions or grants and scholarships?
Many of our students receive financial aid through subsidized and unsubsidized loans or through scholarships. We hire anatomy laboratory assistants from second year students each year. A few scholarship sources to look at are the American Occupational Therapy Association, (mostly 2nd year students) and Ambucs (specifically for allied health professional students). When looking at various Web sites, I see some OT programs offered at the BS level and others at the MS level, like UAB’s program. What is the difference and what would I hope to gain from having a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy? Our National Association (AOTA) has issued a statement that by 2007 only programs at the post-baccalaureate level will be accredited. A master’s prepared therapist will realize a difference in their critical reasoning skills, the ability to search evidence and apply it to practice, and an ability to market OT services in a variety of settings, including community settings. I do not see where
