Conference Mission and Vision

The conference promotes emerging practice areas in the field of occupational therapy through graduate research presentations.

Our occupational therapy students plan the conference as a part of their studies and, in the process, learn to:

• Obtain a keynote speaker
• Procure vendors
• Determine food and media needs
• Create a brochure
• Develop a website
• Organize the conference structure
• Develop and disseminate participant surveys

Students also present their research results as part of the conference. Occupational therapy practitioners, ancillary health service personnel, faculty members, and students from several local occupational therapy programs attend this exciting annual event.
