As of May 1, 2023, OTs in BC are expected to meet new Competencies for Occupational Therapists in Canada (replacing Essential Competencies of Practice), which reflect a broad range of skills and abilities required throughout their careers. Learn more: https://t.co/N70zTNOYXq

OTs, do you have questions about the new Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility & Anti-Racism practice standard? The College's practice team is available for support: https://t.co/Khbqaw69cB]

[OTCollegeBC @OTCollegeBC]

Part of our mandate is to develop standards of practice, which set expectations and accountabilities for OTs in BC - like the recently published Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility, & Anti-Racism practice standard. Visit our website to read it: https://t.co/uENmjHNu9i

Today, on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, we acknowledged the new Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility, and Anti-Racism practice standard with a Blanketing Ceremony.

Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and honours the children who never returned home & survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.

Know your rights: Before you begin receiving occupational therapy services, your occupational therapist requires valid consent. Learn more about client consent here: https://t.co/SBbqBklgKh

[OTCollegeBC @OTCollegeBC]

Assessing a client’s financial management ability is within an OT’s scope of practice but there are specific requirements to consider. Brush up on what you need to know with our Advisory Statement. https://t.co/TtGphAqynA
