WFOT E-Newsletter

I was happy to contribute to the September e-newsletter of the WFOT regarding the Child Development Club website, it's sister Facebook page: Child Development Club: Egypt and the OT in Egypt blog.

Thank you to Helen Cornelissen, who is the Irish Delegate to the WFOT, who suggested I contact the WFOT about sharing this information in their newsletter!

Here is the link: http://www.wfot.org.au/newsletters/sep11/ChildDevClub_LauraE.pdf  


This past year I have been in New York and with everything happening in Egypt the OT news has been very limited. However, I recently arrived in Cairo and hope to have some more active postings the next few months!



Thanks,
Laura

OT Position in a Multidisciplinary Neurorehabilitation Center

My name is Tamer Emara, an Egyptian neurologist with an interest in neuro-rehabilitation. I am starting a multidisciplinary neurorehab service in Cairo. I am interested in locating an OT with previous clinical experience, preferably with adult neuro patients. An OT who speaks Arabic would be an asset, but I would consider a well experienced OT who can mentor other Arabic speaking OT team members. The OT candidate should be efficient, flexible, a good mentor and be ready to work in a team. 

If you are interested, please contact me at: thmfe@yahoo.com

Thank you and looking forward to the responses,

Dr. Tamer Emara
