Occupational Therapy Assistant
March 1st
The application deadline is March 1 for the Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program at Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff. OTAs assist occupational therapists in helping patients increase their functional mobility and engage with patients both young and old and with various medical conditions. OTAs are in high demand as patients spend less time in a hospital, and live longer after an illness or accident. The OTA program is a one-plus-one degree program that prepares students to practice as Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants after meeting certification and state licensure standards. The OTA program at Three Rivers is part of the Missouri Health Professions Consortium (MHPC), and offers the program coordinated through the University of Missouri. Three Rivers offers and enrolls students in the general education coursework. Sophomore level (professional level) coursework typically originates from a classroom in Sedalia, Missouri, and is conveyed to TRC students via interactive television and internet-based technology. After general education coursework is complete, the professional coursework takes one full calendar year. Details about the OTA program are on the application form, which can be found online attrcc.edu/apply. Prospective students must also complete a free Three Rivers application.
