MOT vs OTD

Should you get your MOT (master’s) or OTD (doctorate) to start practicing?
  • Both degrees earn the same pay.
  • Both degrees require you to pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) Exam.
  • Both degrees have the same continuing education requirements.
  • The OTD degree is not mandated, but should it be in the future, you will be grandfathered in with an MOT degree.
  • The MOT degree is shorter in length than the OTD degree and will save you time and money!
