If you ever plan on coming to the US you might want to look at the regulations for the state you are interested in practicing in so you can see their requirements. New ACOTE standards B.5.15 and B.5.16 are quite specific about what needs to be included now in educational programs that follow ACOTE criteria. Those standards go into effect in July 2013.Christopher J.

This is something I am very unfamiliar with, but have recently learned I am required to take a course in. I am training as an OT in the UK and we don't routinely learn about this, it's a physio role. But to sit sit the NBCOT I have to learn. Reading your post has made me think about how much I need to research this, I haven't started the course yet, but i am a little concerned about learning this via distance learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14772999.post-28490625700168215932011-11-30T01:57:21.784-05:002011-11-30T01:57:21.784-05:00Thank you Chris for your insights.
