CAOT-BC Measurement Practice Network Meeting: June 20, 2017

Topic: Challenges of using assessments in practice 

Measurement is an important concept that is often overlooked. As occupational therapists we use important and valuable tools, to help guide future treatments and determine current functioning. It is important we continue to build on our assessment knowledge to recognize the manner we use instruments and what strengths and weaknesses exist.

After two successful years of running the Measurement Practice Network join us for more measurement talk. We need YOU to share your perspectives and ask questions!

The purpose of this Practice Network is education and discussions on the topic of measurement for occupational therapists. This Practice Network will provide you with greater skills to better evaluate assessments and tests. By regularly attending this Practice Network, you will be able to better appraise instruments and understand what critical appraisal means. This Practice Network will not tell you what assessment or tool is best for a given population or client, BUT it will give you additional skills to become stronger at appraising tools, networking and finding resources. Join us to dialogue about this important and difficult topic, hear from other OTs, and continue to make our profession stronger.

This meeting will take place by teleconference. Registration is required to participate.
