Reply To: Graduate School

Bozo, i know the question is directed to wolf, but maybe I can help. I do know people going into OT and other health science fields. What exactly are you asking? OT, or occupational therapy, is a type of therapy that helps people gain or regain fine motor skills and coordination. They can work in rehab, hospitals, early intervention ect helping people after accidents, injuries, surgery, illness, age or people who due to various other reasons do not have certain skills (writing, using scissors ect).

There are many grad schools who offer a degree in OT and some require a BA to enter (SUNY downstate, i believe) and some (touro) require only certain prerequisites such as Biology, A+P (anatomy and physiology), maybe chemistry or physics, some psychs,english and math ect.

it is a popular field and depending on where you live it might be in demand. you need to want to help people and like science to get through the schooling. they make less then PT, PA ect, in case you were wondering, but requires less schooling especially if you do the prerequisite option.

hope this helps and if you have any more questions, ask!
