In this program, participants will:
- Gain an empowered understanding of OT in the United States through lectures and clinical site visits.
- Be introduced to occupational science and USC's cutting-edge research by our renowned faculty.
- Network with Los Angeles-based OTs practicing in both traditional and emerging practice areas.
- Develop global leadership and a global perspective of occupational therapy, health, and wellness by meeting peers from approximately 20 different countries.
The 2025 SOTI program will be held from July 1 - July 31, 2025 and will be offered as an in-person experience in Los Angeles. Tuition is $4,300 USD, which includes the cost of housing and health insurance.
We will also offer the option to attend SOTI online for a reduced tuition fee of $700 USD. Some elements of SOTI (e.g., in-person clinical site visits, cultural exploration of Los Angeles) may not be accessible for those attending SOTI online.
