OT students place first in AOTA Student Conclave Knowledge Bowl

A group of Alvernia University 5th year Occupational Therapy students participated in the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) Virtual Student Conclave Knowledge Bowl 2020.

The group of students competed against three other occupational therapy programs.

The AOTA Student Knowledge Bowl is a trivia-based game consisting of practice questions that could appear on the Occupational Therapy board exam (the NBCOT). Teams received points for answering the questions correctly and the fastest.

The Alvernia students received a plaque, a discount off their board exams and exam prep materials, as well as a guaranteed spot for Alvernia University to compete in the Knowledge Bowl 2021.

"We were excited about our win and very proud to represent Alvernia University and the Occupational Therapy Department," said team member Emily LeVan. "The conference was also a success to gain knowledge useful for our future occupational therapy careers.
