国家认证考试

所有的州都要求行医执照. State licensure is usually based on the results of the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) Certification Examination.

该课程的成功完成使学生有资格在爱荷华州测试执照/认证.

Graduates who successfully pass the National Board Certification for Occupational Therapy and have their scores immediately sent to designated states are able to practice once the individual state’s licensure criteria is met. Graduates who have been practicing and plan to move to a different state need to review that state’s occupational therapy practice acts. As a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) you have access to the OTA licensure requirements by state.
