职业治疗临床博士学位（OTD）为硕士以外的毕业生提供在特定领域（如实践，倡导，政策，教育，研究和计划开发）的深入知识。博士生积极参与领导经验，以发展成为专业实践中的变革推动者的能力，并在其实践领域中积累深入的知识。他们学习分析职业治疗在整个服务交付连续性中对个人，群体和人群的作用，并为特定的客户群体设计职业治疗模型。在学习的第二年，博士生开始发展他们的高级实践技能和参与学术工作的能力。他们可以从多个方面进行选择，例如生产性衰老，社会参与和环境，儿童和青年，工作和行业，神经康复和康复科学。
The Clinical Doctorate of Occupational Therapy (OTD) prepares graduates beyond the master's degree with in-depth knowledge in a specific area such as practice, advocacy, policy, education, research and program development. Doctoral students actively engage in leadership experiences to develop capacity as a change agent in professional practice and develop in-depth knowledge in their practice areas. They learn to analyze the role of occupational therapy across the service delivery continuum for individuals, groups and populations and design an occupational therapy model for a specific client population. In the second year of study, doctoral students start developing their advanced practice skillset and the ability to participate in scholarly work. They may choose from multiple concentrations such as productive aging, social participation and the environment, children and youth, work and industry, neurorehabilitation and rehabilitation science.
