“The OT Potential podcast is great. I love it because it is easy to follow and an easy way to keep up to date on current evidence in the field of occupational therapy, or get affordable continuing education credits. I don’t hesitate to recommend it to everyone because the podcast and club resources are all so so good. I use it to supplement everything I teach too.”
