The Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy Regulatory Organizations (ACOTRO) is launching a three-year initiative to enhance the Substantial Equivalency Assessment System (SEAS). Learn more about the SEAS initiative.
To ensure the updated program reflects the real experiences of internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs), ACOTRO is seeking input from IEOTs who have completed SEAS and are currently registered with a provincial regulatory college.
Participation is voluntary, and your information will only be used for this project. A small honorarium may be provided depending on the activity and time involved.
See more details about this opportunity in English and French.
If you are interested, please fill out this form by November 28 and include:
· Your name
· The country where you completed your occupational therapy education
· The province where you currently practice
· Your current area of practice
Please note that ACOTRO may not be able to accommodate all IEOTs who express interest. Selected IEOTs will represent a variety of home countries and current practice areas across Canada.
If you have any questions, please contact Farshad Bagheri at seas.pm@acotro.org.
The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) is leading a new national initiative called the Internationally Educated Occupational Therapists: Web-Based Navigation Supports project.
This project will create online tools and resources to help IEOTs navigate the licensure process and successfully join Canada’s occupational therapy workforce.
CAOT is launching a survey to hear directly from IEOTs and key partners including employers, supervisors, clinical leads and mentors.
Your feedback will ensure that new resources are practical, meaningful and truly meet the needs of those they’re designed to support.
