This is a fantastic episode of @amplify_ot explaining what the SCOTUS overturning the Chevron doctrine will mean for policy in the future. I highly recommend giving it a listen, and joining to learn about healthcare. I learn so much!

@BillWongOT @JaysonDaviesOT @SabrenaMcCarley @AbeAOTA @llouieotr @BrentBraveman Thanks Bill! Jayson I just sent you a message the other day in ur website funny enough haha

I don’t focus on the public so much but on empowering practitioners to advocate for their value. NBCOT has a new campaign targeted at getting folks to become OT - why choose OT

Thanks to @usedgov's Ruth Ryder for presenting on OT's role in school #mentalhealth at AOTA #OTEdSummit. She also met with the University of Incarnate Word and the College of St. Scholastica on Dept. of Education mental health workforce grants.

At Amplify OT we provide educational resources on Medicare policy, Billing, and Advocacy - students actually use our resources and learn😉.

I promise it's more effective than assigning a dry textbook chapter that, if you are lucky, mentions OT.
