Thank you for all who joined our Cultural Humility Event on March 30th. We had a wonderful turnout with an engaging presentation by Sancler Andrade, OTD, MBA, OTR/L.
As he said, "Cultural humility is not a soft-skill we add on to our occupational therapy toolkit. Cultural humility is, at its most rigorous, what occupational therapy is really about."
Keep on the lookout for more continuing education and professional development events hosted by OTAO.
