Occupational Therapy

Notre Dame of Maryland University’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program prepares you with the knowledge, skills, and hands‑on experience needed to excel in practice. Through an experiential, occupation‑focused curriculum, you’ll explore physical and mental rehabilitation across the lifespan, as well as principles of neurorehabilitation, interprofessional wellness, occupational justice, and sustainable, socially responsible practice. A strong emphasis on research and a capstone experience ensures you graduate as an evidence‑based practitioner and interdisciplinary transformational leader, ready to deliver inclusive, equitable, client‑centered, culturally competent care and make a meaningful impact in diverse health care settings.
