Attending a World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress
Are you curious to know more about what it is like to attend a world federation of occupational therapists congress? In this episode I bring on two amazing guests, Dr. Emma George, a senior lecturer from the University of Adelaide in Australia and Olga Asrun Stefánsdóttir an adjunct professor from the University of Akureyri in Iceland to share their experiences attending a World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress. We talk about what it’s like to travel to a new country, especially if we haven’t been there before, tips for making the most of the congress, what we’ve learned from attending, and the impact that it has had on us both professionally and personally. We also share some fun stories that we experienced while at a WFOT congress.
