North Carolina has some of the best educational programs in the country for occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistants. Each spring one or two schools will also host our spring conference events. Students are active at every level of our association. We have two student board members who provide direct feedback to the board regarding the student perspective and spearhead programs for OT and OTA students in NC.

 

There are many benefits to joining NCOTA as a student:

  • Enhance your educational experience and understanding of the OT profession with continuing education courses, journal clubs, and other learning opportunities
