OhTea Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on or experiences with studying occupational therapy abroad? I would love to work in another country, preferably the UK, early on in my career before I come back and settle in Canada. However, I'm not sure how my degree would transfer over, and even if it's a good idea to study something like OT abroad...quite frankly I don't know where to start looking for that information! Hence why I'm here Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Check the college of occupational therapists(or w.e they are called) to determine equivilancy measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk1 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 hi, i got accepted into masters of OT abroad in Sydney and im starting in march. i researched into the transfer over and it seems quite tedious to get registered in ontario. you have to be approved of your education equivalency and then you can take the exam before you can register. so like a 2 step process. this is applicable to ANYONE studying abroad.

Thanks for your response! May I ask what made you decide to study outside of Canada? It is something that I am considering doing, but no one else I know is interested in pursuing an MScOT specifically abroad--most other people are moving for med school or PT.
