This program is currently seeking candidacy status for accreditation through the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). While we are pursuing accreditation, please be advised that if the program does not receive AOTA accreditation by the time you complete your fellowship, you will not receive a certificate of completion from an AOTA-accredited fellowship program.
