Occupational Therapy (OT) is a health care profession that focuses on helping people of all ages regain, develop, or master everyday skills in order to live independent, productive, and satisfying lives.

Our Bachelor of Science (BS) Program in OT requires the completion of 158 credits divided into 5 years (preparatory year, 3 academic years, and internship year). Our accomplished faculty members are nationally and regionally recognized for innovation and leadership in OT education, research, and community service. We prepare graduates who are creative, competent, compassionate and committed to their profession and their country.

Our values reflect an integration of the BMC values, the international values of the OT Practice, and the local Saudi cultural and religious core values. These core values are but not limited to:

  • Supportive and Facilitative Educational Environment.
  • Hands-on Education: We believe the best preparation is a learning environment emphasizing application of theory to real world situations.
  • Accountability and Sense of Responsibility: Our student’s development and potential for professional excellence is at the core of decision making.
  • Life-Long Learning: We believe that at the core of a successful career as an Occupational Therapist, students need to develop and maintain a thirst for learning that is supported by competent information literacy.
  • Collaboration and Interdisciplinary Teamwork.
  • Distinguished Dynamic Community Partnerships.
  • Advocacy, Public Awareness, and Ethical Practice
  • Message from the head of program
