Occupational Therapy, OTD

Program in Occupational Therapy Leading to the DOCTORATE in Occupational Therapy Degree

Department Chair: Dale Coffin

The Department of Occupational Therapy offers a three-year program leading to the Entry-Level Doctorate in Occupational Therapy Degree. This degree program is offered in a traditional weekday format.

Occupational therapy is the art and science of directing an individual’s participation in selected tasks to restore, reinforce, and enhance performance in activities that are important and meaningful to their health and well-being. Reference to occupation in the title is in the context of an individual’s goal-directed use of time, energy, interest, and attention. An occupational therapist’s fundamental concern is the client’s development and maintenance of the capacity to perform, throughout the life span and with satisfaction to self and others, those tasks and roles essential to productive living and to the mastery of self and the environment.

Occupational therapy provides service to those individuals whose abilities to cope with tasks of living are threatened or impaired by developmental deficits, the aging process, poverty, cultural differences, physical injury or illness, or psychological and social disability.

Occupational therapy serves a diverse population in a variety of settings, such as hospitals and clinics, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care facilities, extended care facilities, sheltered workshops, schools and camps, private homes, and community agencies.

The Occupational Therapy Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE): c/o AOTA, 6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200, North Bethesda, MD 20852-4929. ACOTE’s phone number is 301-652-6611 (x 2914). Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist, administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s eligibility to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.

In addition to the Entry-Level Doctorate in Occupational Therapy degree, the school’s Certificate of Professional Achievement in Occupational Therapy is awarded upon satisfactory completion of all required coursework.

Admission Requirements

The occupational therapy program requires candidates to successfully complete eight credits of biology and four credits of anatomy, or four credits of biology and eight credits of anatomy and physiology, four credits of chemistry, and four credits of physics, all with laboratories and designated for science majors. Candidates need to have completed science courses within the past ten years. Six credits of Arts & Humanities as well as three credits each of the following courses are required: Introduction to Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Introduction to Sociology or Anthropology, Statistics, and English Composition. Candidates must complete the required course work by the end of the spring term of the year for which application is made. A minimum overall GPA of 3.0 and a minimum GPA of 2.8 in both science and natural science coursework are required. Preference is given to applicants with an overall GPA of 3.5 in all coursework and a GPA of 3.0 in both the science and natural science coursework. A minimum of 100 hours experience observing occupational therapy treatment in two different settings (outpatient rehabilitation, developmental disabilities, acute care, nursing homes, and schools) under the supervision of an occupational therapist (OTR) is also required for admission to the program. The observation must be supervised and documented in writing by the occupational therapists. No more than 25% of the minimum 100 required experience hours can be completed at a place of employment. A baccalaureate degree is required as well as current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid.

Department Chair: Renee Fabus

The Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) program leading to a M.S. degree is housed in the School of Health Professions (SHP), at Stony Brook University’s Southampton location. It is a comprehensive and rigorous program which prepares students for positions in a variety of settings including hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care facilities, extended care facilities, schools, agencies, and private practices. Stony Brook University (SBU) is affiliated with Stony Brook University Hospital, Long Island State Veterans Home, and Southampton Hospital. Students will engage in clinical practice each semester throughout their two-year program. The graduate students in this program will engage in clinical simulations and interprofessional practice experiences with students from other health-related programs. The degree program is offered in a traditional weekday format and there is a cohort model which fosters camaraderie among students. Students are required to complete pre-requisite coursework prior to their admission into the program. During a student’s didactic coursework, the student will have opportunities to observe and interact with patients diagnosed with a number of different diseases/disorders including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Aphasia, Cleft Palate, Autism, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Upon completion of the program, students will be eligible for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certification and New York State (NYS) licensure. Optional tracks will prepare students for initial teaching certification and bilingual extension certification (in Spanish) in the schools.
