Occupational Therapy

“The OT program has a huge emphasis on its simulated practical exams to immerse students in what it’s like to actually be an OT. They have helped me learn a lot and improve myself as a student greatly.”

“The WVU OTD curriculum provides many hands-on learning experiences that support students. My understanding of human anatomy was enhanced by the cadaver dissection lab’s use of lectures and hands-on activities that cater to a variety of learning styles.”

“The OT program at WVU provides some of the best hands-on learning experiences available. Not only do we utilize the STEPs center as a means to practice with simulated patients, but we are also provided with opportunities to work with clients in need of therapeutic intervention.”

“Honestly, I can't speak highly enough of the entire OT faculty. They are all patient, kind, and their primary goal is to help each student succeed and become a successful therapist and advocate for their patients while ensuring student quality of life.”

“I have always wanted a career that allows me to change the lives of those I interacted with. Occupational therapy allows me to do this by taking a holistic approach where the client is truly at the center of the process.”
