RA National Meeting

Mon, June 08, 2015 8:23 AM | Anonymous

Key points from the national meeting:

1) RA members met informally with AOTA board to discuss single point of entry OTD. The crowd was mixed on opinions, but there was a consensus that the decision was a done deal. AOTA has taken a position in favor of OTD as single point of entry. However, the RA will not
make this choice, it comes down to ACOTE. The RA members want OT "at the table" but there were also concerns about quality of practitioners, number of practitioners and faculty, cost of OTD, and servicing rural areas.

2) Congress voted on several issues. A position statement on AT was adopted (after many years) and members voted not to add another RA position specific to the military OTs
