GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Ranked in the top 10% nationally and #1 in the Delaware Valley by US News and World Report, Jefferson’s occupational therapy academic programs provide multiple entry pathways to success. In fact, our graduating classes consistently exhibit higher than national average passing rates on the national certification examination.

Jefferson leads the way in healthcare education with the use of innovative teaching strategies, including simulated patients, consumer instructors and targeted interprofessional education opportunities allowing students to learn beside peers in other health and medical professions. All classes are taught by an innovative, highly experienced faculty, many of whom are involved in funded training and research projects. Faculty and students have an opportunity to collaborate in projects based in Jefferson Elder Care, Child and Family Studies and Sensory Integration Laboratory.

Students have many unique opportunities including community service, fieldwork in unique settings, international experiences and scholarship opportunities.
