🎉 Big smiles, fun times, and cheers for the Ozarks Tech OTA Class of 2026 as they headed off to their Level 1 clinical experiences.

It's easy to see we are missing this great group of students on campus right now!

OTA students end their program with 3 clinical experiences, two weeks in December, 8 weeks in January and the final 8 weeks in March. Help us wish them all the best as they finish up their last level 1 experience this Friday! 🥳

Check out our second-year OTA students as they wrapped up their final lab of the semester! 👏

This session was dedicated to mastering key strategies for lymphedema management and exploring advanced specialty certifications available for Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants. This foundational knowledge is essential for becoming the compassionate and skilled professionals we know they will be.

"We mustache" the OT community to share: What part of Occupational Therapy are you most passionate about?
