September 3 | 2:00 pm–3:00 pm ET
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing healthcare, creating both excitement and uncertainty for many practitioners. This session will help occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) move beyond the fear and hype surrounding AI by exploring how different types of AI can observe, respond, and adapt in real time. Participants will learn how AI can support clinical decision-making, individualize care, engage caregivers, and extend opportunities for practice across clinic, school, and home environments, while keeping the practitioner at the center of care.
Celebrate occupational therapy all year long!
Enriching lives through meaningful engagement is at the core of the occupational therapy profession and AOTA’s Vision 2030. This April and all year long, we celebrate OT practitioners and the power of occupational therapy.
