What Kind of OT Would You Be?

As an occupational therapist, there are a variety of different areas in which you can practice. The core curriculum of the entry-level programs at USC — the Entry-Level OTD and the Bachelor’s to Doctorate program — prepares you as a general practitioner of occupational therapy, and the elective opportunities allow you to specialize in one of the six core practice areas of the profession: 1) Children and Youth, 2) Health and Wellness (Lifestyle Redesign®), 3) Mental Health, 4) Workplace and Industry, 5) Rehabilitation, Participation, and Disability, or 6) Productive Aging. This brief quiz was developed to give you an idea of which specialty area in occupational therapy might be right for you!
