Research on NBCOT Exam Prep Seeking New Grads!

Dear Colleagues,

I am Bridget Hahn, OTD, OTR/L, Assistant Professor and Director of Admissions in the Occupational Therapy Doctorate program at Rush University. I am writing to request your assistance in recruiting participants for a national study on NBCOT exam preparation strategies and outcomes, which is being conducted with three OTD student co-investigators.

We are seeking OT Masters and Doctoral graduates who have taken the NBCOT exam at least once between January 2024 and the present. The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes and examines academic background, program preparation, and individual study strategies in relation to first-attempt outcomes. All responses are completely anonymous, and no program-identifying information is collected.

We are especially hoping to hear from graduates who did not pass on their first attempt, as their experiences are critically underrepresented in literature and central to this work.

We would be grateful if you would share the link below with your recent graduates. A note from a trusted program director carries real weight in encouraging participation.
