Our purpose in this study was to examine the preclinical curricular
content pertaining to driving evaluation and rehabilitation (DE/R) included in
professional entry-level occupational therapy programs. An e-mail survey
containing questions about the program's structure and extent of course material
related to DE/R in the curriculum was sent to directors of all 144 U.S.
accredited professional entry-level occupational therapy programs. RESULTS:
Ninety programs responded (62.5% response rate), of which 80 included content
related to DE/R in some required courses, and 9 programs offered a required
course specifically in DE/R. Approximately 18% of the respondent programs offered
electives with DE/R content. CONCLUSION: Of the respondent professional
entry-level occupational therapy programs, few offer a required course
specifically devoted to DE/R, butalmost all programs integrate DE/R content into
required coursework, thus satisfying the Accreditation Council for Occupational
Therapy Education standards related to driver rehabilitation.
