The Value of Membership in Shaping the OT Profession with Vikram Pagpatan
AOTA’s elections are upon us and historically, less than 4% of members participate in annual voting. This is such a small percentage of practitioners influencing the future of our profession. Today I am joined by AOTA’s presidential candidate and current Board Member, Vik Pagpatan as he brings us his insight from the inside, discussing the full scope of AOTA, the profession as a whole, and the power of community. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am talking about the value of membership in shaping the OT profession.
