Occupational Therapy Continuing Education Links

The following is a list of OT continuing education resources that I have compiled. Quite a few of these resources are starting to provide online courses, which is a good opportunity for therapists in the region to take some continuing education courses otherwise not offered in the Middle East.

Many links also provide speech and physical therapy courses, too. All the links are US based, so if anyone has any more international links, please share them in the comment section or email me and I will post them.

Occupational Therapist Job Wanted:

I have received CV's from international OT's who are interested in working in Egypt. Many of these OT's have a wide range of expertise with years of experience, but unfortunately I do not have enough positions to fill at the center. Some of them are finishing contracts with other facilities this year and are looking for future work abroad and others are available for sooner employment.

I will periodically post their contacts and if anyone is interested in hiring them from abroad, please contact them directly.
