A research study on the selection of students for entrance into the basic professional four-year occupational therapy curriculum at Elizabethtown College is presented in this paper. The study has tow primary objectives: the determination of factors that could serve to discriminate between prospective students who would remain in the program from those would withdraw; and the development of a mathematical model that could be used in future years for student selection to the occupational therapy program. It is suggested that the model can be applied to any educational setting, can effectively streamline the usual admissions process, and can ensure that qualified students enter occupational therapy programs and thus be an additional indicator for the success and continuation of the profession.
本文介绍了一项关于伊丽莎白镇学院四年制基础职业治疗课程入学学生选拔的研究。该研究有两个主要目标：确定能够区分未来会留在该项目的学生和会退出的学生的因素；开发一个数学模型，以便在未来几年用于职业治疗项目的学生选拔。有人认为，该模型可应用于任何教育环境，能有效简化通常的招生过程，并能确保合格学生进入职业治疗项目，从而成为该职业成功与延续的一个额外指标。
