SAVE THE DATE: Oct 4-6, 2015
The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT), Dietitians of Canada (DC), and Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC) are pleased to announce a jointly hosted professional education program for occupational therapists, dietitians and speech-language
pathologists in the autumn of 2015.
The three professional organizations have agreed to develop and deliver a multi-day,intensive learning program for members to advance their knowledge and skills in dysphagia assessment and management, and to support collaborative interprofessional practice.
While the final program is still being planned, the following principles will be used to guide the work of the planning committee:
• a focus on practitioners experienced in assessing and managing patients with
dysphagia,
• a stated intention to support collaborative interprofessional practice,
• a stated intention to enhance understanding of professional scope and expertise,
• speakers will be drawn primarily from the three partner professions but may include
others as needed to add depth to the program (e.g., physicians, ethicists, clients, etc.),
elements of interactive training,
• will be evidence-informed and supported by current research, and
• will profile best practice in each discipline area and in interprofessional collaborative team approaches
More information will be available in the coming months.
