Mission and Vision

The mission of OBU's OTD program is to prepare Christ-centered, servant leaders that pursue clinical excellence and scholarly practice. Through integration of faith and knowledge, our graduates will become transformative agents of hope and healing in the diverse communities in which they live and work.

The vision of OBU's OTD program is to be a leading Christ-centered program that supports individuals in their growth from student to professional. The program will nurture the students' personal and professional identity formation (being), redefine their potential for new roles (becoming), and establish their place in the community of health care providers and in the Kingdom (belonging). Our graduates will be scholarly practitioners that have a deeper understanding of how their work can serve as a meaningful contribution to the profession and as a ministry within their communities.
