We welcomed our inaugural cohort of future occupational therapists in August 2021.

The Duke OTD is committed to weaving students’ personal and professional development together to shape leaders with a focus on eliminating human suffering caused by barriers to occupation. In order to welcome and form a cohort of students from as many walks of life as possible, the Duke OTD has taken the following actions to create an inclusive and equitable learning community:

• Active learning and engagement in the community
• Faculty position focused on minority recruitment and retention
• Intentional integration between the personal and professional
• Focus on justice work of eliminating human suffering caused by
barriers to occupation
• A holistic admissions process to welcome students from wide-
ranging backgrounds

On day one, at hour one, our students wrote down how they were feeling as they began their journey at Duke OTD. Today, they looked back on those first-day emotions and reflected on how far they’ve come. Class of 2028, you have grown, persevered, and accomplished so much. We are so proud of you! 💙✨
