RADFORD – Members of the Radford University Master of Occupational Therapy (M.O.T.) Class of 2022 achieved a 100% pass rate on their National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exams.
The 42 graduates had all of 2023 to take the exam, and the report that they had all passed came in early 2024. In addition to their outstanding testing skills, 100% of the M.O.T. grads were employed within two months of graduation. Close to 50% of them are working in outpatient pediatrics, school systems, and early intervention; about 20% work in skilled nursing facilities; about 25% work in acute care; and some work as travel therapists. “They started occupational therapy school at the height of the pandemic in August 2020 and demonstrated remarkable resilience as they navigated through unknown territories with us,” said Vesna Cotić, interim chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy. “We are especially proud of this group of students because of the trust they extended to us as faculty and the support they poured into each other.”
