Things You OT-to Know Podcast was created to help occupational therapy practitioners have easier access to evidence-based practice and mend the gap between having the research and applying it. Contact hours are available for listening! Created by a third year OT student with the help of three mentors that recognizes the importance of our actions being evidence-based and desires to help connect the dots between having the research in front of us and actually applying it (while combating the drowsy state induced by talking research!). Topics are based on AOTA’s Critically Appraised Topics and interviews with Arkansas-based expert level OTs are included.
