Sands of wisdom: inspiring occupational therapy futures
Sponsored by Australian and New Zealand Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ANZCOTE) and OTAL
Target Audience
- Clinical educators, academics, practitioners interested in student education who are keen to share experiences, question educational approaches and raise issues for debate.
- Practitioners who are keen to learning about postgraduate learning opportunities.
- New graduates who are interested in planning student education into their career planning.
- Students who are keen to interact with practitioners and academics to share their experiences and influence future practice.
Forum Aims and Outcome
Education day is an opportunity to join colleagues for a day, inspired by the beachside location, to listen, share, imagine, discuss and laugh. No preparation needed: bring your practice stories, questions, ideas and dreams.
At the end of the forum, we aim to present a paper of ideas and recommendations to ANZCOTE and OTAL to summarise the day’s discussions.
