Welcome to the University of New Mexico Health Occupational Therapy Graduate Program (OTGP), a leader in educational innovation. We are nationally and internationally recognized by other occupational therapy educators for our Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum

Because of mentoring provided by faculty, students are highly integrated into research and scholarship activities.  We are proud that since 1996, students (in collaboration with faculty) have published over 42 articles and given over 60 national and international professional presentations.

We have implemented the Occupational Therapy Student Performance Assessment (OTSPA) for past three years. Because of our experience in this innovative method, we presented a course on it at the 2003 American Occupational Therapy Association Annual Conference, held in Washington, DC in June.  

In the OTSPA, students get the unique opportunity to assess a simulated client who is a trained actor, and then develop an intervention plan in a time-limited manner. This invaluable exercise simulates what will be expected of students in their future occupational therapy practice.
