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.

Quarterly Virtual Chats 

TNOTA’s Student Involvement Committee would like to invite all students to be a part of a quarterly virtual chat beginning Tuesday, October 22, 7-8pm CST. These chats will be hosted on Go To Meeting. There will be a guest speaker for 15-20 minutes followed by a Q&A and an opportunity for students to speak about what makes their program unique. Be on the lookout for a Skype or video announcement at your school!
