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. 

Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students
This occupational therapy continuing education course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning, and practice opportunities.

Amanda's passion was contagious. Her presentation and ability to speak freely was flawless. She held our attention and kept us engaged. I would attend any courses that she teaches. My favorite OT course yet; hands down.
