I'm a 68L as well. The training is very intense, in that you are gaining the equivalent of an associates degree in 9 months. You have 4 months of academics and about 4 and a half months of clinicals. I highly recommend taking the certification exam right after you graduate the program. If you have a base knowledge of Anatomy and Phisiology before going that will be a great help. That was the toughest two weeks in my opinion, because you have the learn so much. You also will go to the cadaver lab at AMEDD during the A&P time , which is an unforgettable experience. You'll begin implementing what you learn before you go to clinicals and that really sets the foundation for you. It's a great program. I'm in a program now getting my Master's in OT it's a broad profession, with a lot of ability to find a setting that is in line with what you like to do. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

After you graduate from this course can you take your occupational therapy assistant test and have a associates degree?

Yes. After graduation, you receive an Associates Degree in Health Science from the University of the Incarnate Word. You will then be allowed to set for the national examination to become a COTA.

SGT (Anonymous) - this was a major concern of mine. I want to become a 68L. I already have a degree but decided not to go the Officer route so I can some what get into the field. To know as an enlist I can take the exam and become certified is major to me.. Thanks, someone finally answered my question that I've been searching for.
