Occupational therapy (OT) practitioners utilize anatomy and anatomy-related knowledge to
analyze occupational performance and design intervention plans for prevention, rehabilitation,
and wellness. The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE)
provides standards and guidelines about anatomy-related knowledge, but faculty must interpret
these standards to design curricula to meet them. The process of curriculum mapping requires
that OT educators identify and assess the anatomy and anatomy-related content present in entrylevel
programs. In this study, the primary researcher developed a tool as a first step to assist
faculty in identifying the amount and scope of anatomy-related content taught in entry-level
programs. Official documents of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and
curriculum mapping studies were used as guidelines for developing the tool. Five expert
consultants, who each have a minimum of three years’ experience teaching in an entry-level
occupational therapy program, completed three surveys to validate the tool. The usability of the
tool was assessed by applying it to an entry-level Master of Science in OT (MSOT) program.
