UK trained OT moving to California

Hi everyone,


Are there any UK trained OTs who have ever gone through the OTED process to work in the States/ know of anyone who has completed this process? I am hoping to move there, however, looking at the education requirements (below) I am unclear as to whether my BSc (Hons) is enough to be accepted?:


"You need to have a minimum of an entry-level master's degree in occupational therapy, or a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy with a post-professional master's or doctoral degree in occupational therapy, or a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy with a master’s degree in a related field to apply for the Occupational Therapist Eligibility Determination (OTED®) process. Internationally educated therapists must go through the OTED process to obtain eligibility to take the NBCOT OTR® Certification Examination."


Apologies for the long question but if anyone has gone through this process, I would be very keen to pick your brains!


Many thanks,

Christine
