This is pretty big news. Wonder how many schools in the early stages of transitioning from MSOT to DOT will rethink their plans?? Hopefully this will preserve many of the more cost effective masters programs indefinitely.

They vote on this issue annually.. so it’s not really any change from the past years.

My guess is not enough programs have changed over to OTD yet, so they can’t mandate it just yet.

The conversation is still ongoing.
