Exam outline and official sources
American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), with Occupational Therapy Advanced Certification Commission (OTACC) oversight · AOTA's currently linked BCG Examination Content Outline, copyright 2022, corroborated by Appendix C of the 2024 BCG Candidate Handbook; checked 2026-10-18. Neither document states a separate blueprint effective date. The workbook label 'Board Certified in Gerontology' maps to AOTA's official 'Board Certification in Gerontology'; the assigned slug is preserved. This is an occupational therapy specialty certification, although the workbook places it in Healthcare Administration & Management.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
