The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Health Professions (CHP) invites applications for the Hybrid-format OTD Program Director of the Division of Occupational Therapy position. The Division of Occupational Therapy (OT) has an entry-level Occupational Therapy Doctoral Program, which transitioned from a master’s degree program in 2019. It is one of three Divisions within the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, including Physical Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology. The OT program has a sustained record of excellence in education, research, leadership, and service. Working in a state-of-the-art teaching facility and a world-class teaching hospital, MUSC students engage in interprofessional groups that mirror the world beyond the classrooms. The OTD program achieved ACOTE accreditation and is ranked 13th in the nation for OT programs by the U.S. News and World Report. The faculty has received numerous accolades for teaching excellence and innovative curricular design at the local, regional, and national levels. Post-professional educational opportunities also exist through a post-professional OTD and a Ph.D. in Health and Rehabilitation Science.
As part of the greater MUSC enterprise, the Division of OT is integral to the state’s only academic health sciences center known for its excellence in interprofessional education. In addition, the College of Health Professions (CHP) is ranked 3rd in the nation in total NIH funding among Schools of Allied Health & Health Professions. OT faculty and students collaborate with a broad range of educators, clinicians, and researchers across the state, and several faculty hold dual appointments in CHP and other MUSC Departments. Through its strong history, outstanding record of educating occupational therapists, and dedication to interprofessional education and research, the Division of OT is poised to enhance the Department’s and College's overall goal of achieving national distinction in education, research, leadership, and service.
