Testimonials
1. This more than met my expectations. Opportunities to think through case studies together and reflect with other OT’s in breakout rooms was invaluable. Its helped to frame my thinking as I approach returning to the OT workforce, and also enabled reflections on areas that I had not previously thought to engage in (such as my time management skills!)
2. I’ll be recommending this to colleagues considering practicing in the community, and also to others like myself who are returning after a period of absence. It’s given my confidence a huge boost.
