    OTAC Webinar Series

    The Intersection of Personal Growth and Professional Development
    Alison Mercier, MS, OTR/L

    I have been an OT since 2016 and have spent most of my clinical practice in the adult acute care setting. I spent two years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in a rural critical access hospital before returning to Colorado to work at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood. I was in a leadership position within the therapy department during the bulk of my five years at Swedish. My time at Swedish highlighted my interest in professional development; during this period, I attended a yearlong leadership course created by HCA and completed leadership courses supported by AOTA. I’m really interested in how our personal and professional growth can merge, develop, and support each other. I’m currently in a non-clinical role with Kindred LTAC.

    Title: The Intersection of Personal Growth and Professional Development
    Overview: This presentation will focus on how personal growth can drive professional development. Professional development is often linked to completing new clinical education or leadership courses, learning new skills, and taking on new challenges. What are the benefits of focusing inward to learn more about our own individual needs? During this webinar, we’ll review, complete, and discuss different AOTA-supported worksheets to do a deeper dive into the connection between our individual growth and how it shows up in the professional world.
    Date: March 11th
    Time: 6:30PM 
    Location: Virtual - webinar link will be sent via email after registration!
    Cost:

      Finding Your Voice: Addressing the Under-Recognition of Occupational Therapy in Daily Practice

      Description: How many times have we as OTs OTAs, and students explained what occupational therapy is to only be faced with more confusion by our families, friends, coworkers, and clients?  Maybe you concerned that occupational therapy is not being utilized enough in your setting? 

      Sure, we all do our best, but it's hard to navigate those discussions in our fast-paced work world. Join Kim and Niccole as they delve into the evidence and literature to determine just how under-recognized occupational therapy is and what may contribute to the problem.  

      You may be surprised to find out how OT practitioners are contributing to their own lack of recognition, but don't worry because you will learn strategies that can address this big issue in our profession and how to use them the next time you are at work.  This course provides practical strategies that can easily be implemented into any daily practice setting.

      What better way to combat burnout than to empower ourselves and our amazing profession?

        Beyond Discharge: Redefining Occupational Therapy in Acute Care

        Description: Occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) play a crucial role in helping clients regain their prior level of functioning. When clients are hospitalized for various reasons, they often experience deficits that impact their ability to perform essential activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). In the acute care setting, OTPs are responsible for evaluating clients, providing targeted interventions, and developing comprehensive plans and recommendations for post-hospital care. Our role extends to assessing clients' occupational performance while considering environmental factors, health conditions, and personal circumstances that affect their return to their previous living situation.

        This course will focus on expanding knowledge of occupational therapy's role in acute care, using case studies to demonstrate the integration of both foundational and advanced clinical skills. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based interventions, which are critical for ensuring clients are discharged to the most appropriate setting, optimizing their recovery.
