Description

This podcast says what needs to be said in occupational therapy—conversations that impact practitioners far beyond the boundaries of “occupation.” When occupational therapy practitioners speak up and engage in the broader discussions of medicine, science, public health, and global wellness, we step into our rightful place as leaders. Topics include: Functional Cognition, Brain Health, OT Politics, AOTA Updates, Outpatient OT, Entrepreneurship, Private Practice, and unapologetically personal opinions.
