Upskilling occupational therapy students and practitioners through interprofessional education [Symposium]

Occupational therapists (OTs) are known to be key players in any healthcare team. Aside from providing occupational therapy services, it is essential for OTs to be competent in collaborating with other health and social care professionals. This symposium will mainly engage in a discourse on interprofessional education (IPE), a pedagogical approach that allows team members from two or more professions to learn with, from, and about each other. In this session, four OT educators will share their experiences in upskilling students, graduate students, health science educators, and health professionals in Asia and the Pacific through IPE.status: accepte
