"I stay up-to-date on advancements in occupational therapy in several ways. I am a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and am notified when something significant happens in the industry. I also listen to their Incredible Everyday podcast to hear what other OTs have to say and attend their annual conferences to learn about the latest developments in home adaptations and equipment used by occupational therapists. I also have a lot of friends and mentors in the industry that I speak with often. We are sure to keep each other notified of the latest trends."
