    Area of Science:

    • Health Professions Education
    • Occupational Therapy Training
    • Student Admissions

    Background:

    • The selection process for occupational therapy programs significantly impacts student retention and professional success.
    • Existing admissions methods may not effectively identify candidates likely to complete the rigorous curriculum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify predictive factors differentiating students who will complete the occupational therapy curriculum from those who will withdraw.
    • To develop a mathematical model for optimizing student selection into occupational therapy programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of factors influencing student retention in a four-year occupational therapy program.
    • Development and validation of a predictive mathematical model for admissions.

    Main Results:

    • Key demographic and academic factors were identified as significant predictors of student success.
    • The developed mathematical model demonstrated efficacy in discriminating between successful and withdrawing students.

    Conclusions:

    • The predictive model can enhance the occupational therapy admissions process by identifying high-potential candidates.
    • Implementing this model can improve student retention and contribute to the overall strength of the occupational therapy profession.
