Pilot Mentorship Program 

For recent grads and soon-to-be-grads:

TNOTA’s Student Involvement Committee would like to invite practitioners and new grads to be a part of a pilot mentorship program in which new and experienced practitioners will be paired for mentorship. We are seeking OT practitioners interested in being a mentor or mentee. If you have an interest in joining this pilot mentorship program please email Morgan Webb at [email protected] with your name, mentor or mentee preference, and years of experience by September 30.

If your school has an upcoming fun event, project, or if you would like to post about a day in the life of your occupational therapy program please contact Morgan Webb at [email protected] to schedule a social media takeover of TNOTA’s Facebook and Instagram for 24 hours! Programs will be taking over these social media platforms monthly. Don’t miss this awesome opportunity to promote your program and the occupational therapy profession!
