Pre-Occupational Therapy Club

Club Mission Statement

The Pre-Occupational Therapy Club exists to help undergraduate students gain acceptance into graduate school and excel in their chosen area of study. We strive to not only educate Liberty students about the field of Occupational Therapy, but also the city of Lynchburg through community service.

What To Expect as a Member

The Pre-OT Club meets once a month with a variety of speakers. These speakers range from local occupational therapists, certified occupational therapists, GRE instructors, to graduate school admissions counselors. You will gain a thorough understanding of what occupational therapy is, as well as the myriad of settings it can be used in (pediatrics, geriatrics, hospitals, home health, mental health, out-patient, hand therapy, aquatic therapy, etc.) Our speakers are an incredible asset as many of our students end up shadowing them in their chosen setting. You will also gain extensive knowledge of how to prepare yourself for applying to graduate schools and all that it entails (GRE exam, prerequisites, OTCAS.)
