A great opportunity to learn about Occupational Therapy work in LMIC’s and network with others who have had experiences practicing OT internationally ☺️
All welcome! ☺️
Thankyou @SidaMuchemwa for sharing your experiences with us today! ☺️
Some interesting conversations around collective responsibility around #ClimateChange and #occupation and how we can better build community resilience 🌱
@tai_the_ot @RCOT_Suzy I lead a module on our OT apprenticeship called OT Contemporary Practice. Difficult to define contemporary I think but we've had speakers from @CupOTservices, an OT working in academic support, youth justice, rough sleepers.... also hear from international OTs e.g. @SidaMuchemwa
My favorite part about teaching at universities abroad is mentioning the beauty of my country. Regardless of the course, I always sneak in a mention of Vic Falls at the beginning.
