WC launching occupational therapy program
Ingram
Those touring the newly completed occupational therapy level in Wilmington College’s Center for Sport Sciences will notice spacious classrooms, multiple offices, conference rooms, a sunny lounge area, a full kitchen lab and a simulated apartment — complete with a bed, washer/dryer and full bathroom.
The college is launching its latest graduate-level program in January 2022. The Master of Science program in occupational therapy is a 27-month, entry-level graduate program for which persons with any bachelor’s degree could be eligible.
The kitchen and apartment laboratories are the new facility’s most visual representation of what an occupational therapist does — assist persons in engaging or re-engaging in the occupations of daily life, often following an injury or illness. But there’s so much more to occupational therapy, which represents one of the fastest-growing health care fields.
