If you have a B.S. or B.A. from your COTA education, you would only need to take the pre-requisites, not get another bachelor's.
Is there a reason why you want to get your M.S. and then apply? Why not just take the pre-reqs and apply?

A COTA program is only an associate's level program. There is a bridge to the master's level OTR program with an education as a COTA. I would need at least a bachelor's to apply to med school, correct? That is my logic for getting the master's before applying to med school. The OTR program is all in one, meaning you earn the bachelor's degree and master's degree in the same program.

If you earn the B.S. and M.S. in one, then there's no need for a separate degree. However if you go straight from your A.A. to your M.S. then you'll need to get a bachelor's degree separately.
In other words, make sure you are awarded a B.S. in the bridge program.

Not necessarily earn one separately, but check to see if a BA or BS is granted through your program at some point before they give you the MS.
This is because most medical schools require a bachelors degree and there's really not a way to get around it. If no bach degree is granted, it will make your life much more difficult.

Some medical schools require a bachelor's, others require 90 hours of undergraduate work (including the pre-reqs) to qualify for admission. Graduate credit doesn't count.
My M.S. in speech-language pathology looks nice on my application, but it doesn't factor in to the coursework required for admission.
