“ MYOTPREP sets the standard for competence in occupational therapy. Licensure between states is not universal and therefore, is not always a good indicator of a therapist’s continued competence in this growing field. Research and evidence-based practice influences how our profession evolves. The MYOTPREP credential verifies that a therapist meets the standards for maintaining knowledge of current practice.”
