Interesting..
Male OTs make about $8,000 more annually than their female counterparts.
More than 78 percent of OT participants indicated that their highest degree attained was either a bachelor's degree or entry-level master's degree. Of those responses, we found that those with bachelor's degrees actually reported higher annual salaries on the average ($73,271) than those with entry-level master's degrees ($66,690).. What??? However, a closer look revealed that more than 82 percent of OTs reporting with bachelor's degrees have been in the OT field for over 10 years.From strictly an average-salary standpoint, practitioners with bachelor's degrees, post-professional master's degrees or clinical doctorates all fell within a mere $150 of each other on the scale. Those with entry-level master's degrees (74 percent) have been practicing for fewer than 10 years. How are they able to practice on a bachelors?
In a recent issue there was an article on ACOTE's new standards for education, which will go into effect in July 2013, which will require some kind of affiliation that is psychosocially focused. The requirement reads: "Ensure that at least one fieldwork experience (either Level I or Level II) has a focus psychological and social factors that influence engagement in occupation." (Mental Health)
If you don't get the Advance subscription you can sign up it's a free magazine by ADVANCE for Occupational Therapy Practitioners. A trusted source of news and information for OTs since 1985.
