The Occupational Therapy program acknowledges the noted pass rates and is actively engaged in strategies to improve the pass rate; for example, increased review sessions and enhanced course exam strategies. This is evidenced by our surging numbers throughout the past two years. This is evidenced through our most recent pass rate in line with the national average.
