Occupational TherapyThe Department of Occupational Therapy's certificate program provides occupational therapists and occupational therapy students a means of acquiring increased specialization to meet the growing need in the profession for continuing education in rapidly expanding areas. The certificate program consists of four course credits and is offered in advanced professional study and hand and upper extremity rehabilitation. The advanced professional study specialization is for occupational therapists who wish to enhance their careers through a substantive exploration of policy and management, assistive technology, aging, or early intervention.

Courses are taught in conjunction with specialists from Massachusetts General Hospital.
