I am an Australian occupational therapist, educator and researcher. I have worked as an OT in mental health, vocational rehabilitation and a private surgical hospital. I am passionate using online technology to enhance the knowledge and growth of the occupational therapy profession. In my PhD research I am looking at the role of online technologies in information management and knowledge transfer in occupational therapy.

What are you doing to become Web2.0 literate and put quality healthcare information on the internet?
What are you doing to ensure the next generation of OT's is ready, willing and able to take the lead?
