Education in Acute Care- Critical to Changing Times in OT

Our summer issue arrives in the midst of unprecedented times. We recognize many of our readers are working creatively and innovatively to provide quality acute care occupational therapy services in a complex and fluid health care environment. According to a recent statement by American Occupational Therapy Association (2020), “In the rapidly changing health care landscape, the ability to evaluate, plan, and adapt is vital; occupational therapy practitioners have unique skills to address this challenge.” We echo our agreement that acute occupational therapists are undoubtedly rising to the challenge and representing our profession in exceptional ways.
