Continuing Educational Opportunities

Continuing professional education opportunities can be found at the following sites. If you would like to post an educational opportunity please contact SSOT .

  • Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT)

  • University of Saskatchewan: Continuing Education in Rehabiliation Science (CERS)

  • Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists - BC Chapter (CAOT-BC)

  • Society of Alberta Occupational Therapists (SAOT)

  • Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists (OSOT)

  • New Brunswick Association of Occupational Therapists (NBAOT)

  • Nova Scotia Society of Occupational Therapists (NSSOT)

  • American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA)

A practising licence is not required for an occupational therapist to provide education in Saskatchewan. A licence is only required if the educational event includes treatment of clients. If you are planning an occupational therapy educational event in Saskatchewan, SSOT encourages you to ensure that the presenter clearly states in writing (handouts and brochures) and during the session introduction which province or country they do have a licence to practice occupational therapy in.

On-Going Courses and Continuing Education

The Master of Education in Health Sciences Education (MHSE) is an online, part-time program designed for working health professionals looking to build knowledge in areas of educational practice relevant to their professional context.

There are a variety of graduate programs that may be of interest to Occupational Therapists depending on your research interest.  As an example, the MSc and PhD programs in Health Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan are thesis-based graduate programs for students performing research within any of the clinical departments in the College of Medicine or the School of Physical Therapy.  Areas of research are varied and are dependent on the research interests, expertise of the student and their research supervisor.  Additionally, these programs offer relevant, centrally managed, mandatory courses that provide research skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary for any life and health science graduate regardless of the nature of the research project.  For a complete listing of  graduate programs at the University of Saskatchewan or University of Regina.

McMaster University offers an on-line Master program, directed to healthcare professionals who are seeking to assume or have assumed a leadership role in a variety of healthcare sectors. Graduates of the program will demonstrate new knowledge and skills in communication, political and healthcare environments, organizational behaviour and human resources management, research awareness and leadership. This on-line, part-time, course-based degree fits easily into an individual's lifestyle. You are welcome to review our website for more information.

ATMA Journey Centers has embarked on disseminating a training program for healthcare professionals this past year related to psychedelic assisted psychotherapy.  We have been struck by the significant interest varied healthcare disciplines have shown in learning about the psychedelic medicine renaissance and would like to connect with your members to make them aware of this training opportunity.

As you may be aware, in recent years significant and credible data has been obtained through clinical trials completed by reputable academic bodies, which has underscored the efficacy and effectiveness of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.  John Hopkins University and NYU pioneered these studies into the power of psychedelic medicines in 2006, and we now see growing numbers of universities, academic and pharmacological bodies adding support to the relative safety and effectiveness of psychedelic assisted therapy.

The data on effectiveness of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is becoming hard to ignore, especially when psychedelic medicine could potentially help millions of Canadians coping with rising mental health issues.

Licensed mental health care professionals are integral to psychedelic-assisted therapy and will lead this new therapeutic revolution.  Therapists' ability to ensure that psychedelic-assisted therapy is more accessible, and practiced with integrity and in an ethical manner is paramount, and this begins with accessible and effective training..

We are here to support therapists with training, resources, and services to help therapists adopt psychedelic-assisted therapy into their current practice.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic we are living in a rapidly evolving world. Many of us are experiencing some degree of Pandemic Fatigue – mental/cognitive fatigue and additional mental health impacts where previous coping strategies are not as readily available or effective. Long COVID comes with further debilitating challenges that we are learning about in real time. This workshop weighs in on what we know of the symptoms and impacts on daily functioning so far, what are the similarities to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Post Intensive Care Syndrome. This workshop reviews the Occupational Therapy evidence-based approach to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) which assists to inform us in addition to available evidence with Long COVID. Evidence based tools to assess mental-cognitive fatigue, ADL, IADL are included in the workshop. Clinical case examples, video and small group discussion are used. Workshop materials include intervention resources, assessment tools and supporting research articles. Registration is limited to allow for small group learning.

Our live virtual interactive workshop offers and teaches the M.A.C. — Maximize Assessment Capabilities — an integrated occupational therapy model for assessment and treatment.

GOALS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

·         Current research on Long COVID, implications for OT practice

·         Signs and symptoms of Long COVID

·         Understanding and impacts of post exertional malaise, cognitive fatigue and other symptoms

·         Evidence based approach for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) – how this informs our approach with Long COVID

·         Hierarchy of objective assessment tools for mental-cognitive fatigue, ADL, IADL
