Featured UAB Occupational Therapy Programs

  • The Post-Professional OTD degree aims to prepare practicing occupational therapists for leadership roles in healthcare, academia, and advocacy. This degree is offered 100% online to meet the needs of working professionals and is designed for part-time enrollment with students taking one or two courses a semester.

    This degree is the only one of its kind in Alabama, offers out-of-state students in-state tuition, and has three separate tracks to specialize your studies.

  • This Graduate Certificate is designed for working clinicians that wish to gain expertise in the field of low vision rehabilitation. Course work is online, with just one visit to campus, so that the program can be completed along with your other obligations, in just five semesters.

    A variety of learning methods, including application-based assessments, intervention development, interactive chats by experts in the field, and video and audiotaped lectures will give you the knowledge you need to become a leader in the field of low vision rehabilitation.

    Graduates of this Certificate are eligible for a shortened pathway to the SCLV and CLVT credentials.

  • The PhD in Rehabilitation Science program at UAB is an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the UAB Department of Occupational Therapy and UAB Department of Physical Therapy. The study of Rehabilitation Science focuses on helping patients with disabilities live their lives to the fullest.

    The program will prepare you for academia, government and policy sectors, or to continue to practice in the industry upon graduation. The aim of this program is to prepare candidates to become leaders in teaching and research within the field of rehabilitation science and is not a clinical training program.
