 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well we have had a great response to the questions... so they will be coming think and fast this evening. But don't forget we will not grab the transcript for at least 24 hrs so time to re-read and respond... #OTalk Just a little reminder about the 'House Rules' https://t.co/Fw0npw3d7g |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And I hope you guys are aware that I got a 90% rating for curating TEDxAlmansorPark. I heard that is a fantastic score for a first time event! Now- where will OT go from here? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ All this evenings questions have come from the community... so in no particular order..... #OTalk Questions 1. How do we identify the CPD in our everyday practice? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I think we have to constantly reflect what we do on a daily basis- no matter what role we play in, or activities we do (if it is anything OT related). #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
 | Minh Tran @otramblings Hi everyone! 🐰 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 And speaking of extraordinary... I actually thought about how TEDxAlmansorPark curation has not only made me grow as an OT, but also how impactful it did for the local community that attended. The official positive reviews made my day yesterday. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Helen_OTUK: |
| Minh Tran @otramblings I’m good at identifying the formal CPD ie workshops, IST but always forget the informal chats with colleagues reflecting about a patient #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Lizzie_OT @OTalk_ And same goes with teaching too if you are in academia. I have been thinking about what I could do better after each day I was in this new position. I had no expectations to be perfect to start, but I have expectations to be awesome. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @otramblings: I’m good at identifying the formal CPD ie workshops, IST but always forget the informal chats with colleagues reflecting about a patient #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 3 Does every CPD activity require a reflection as evidence ? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otramblings Sometimes I do informal CPD with folks like you guys... or a monthly OT committee that I am serving in AOTA. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk Question 4 ... still on the theme of reflection: How long do written reflections need to be ? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I will say no- but for some people who like record keeping, that can be fascinating to track how much growth/progress were made since day 1! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ And who knows- if somebody who is an aspiring Casson lecturer (or Slagle in the US), I would say this is a definite must. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I can go on forever with this... lol! I just free write if I am intentional about it on my Facebook page. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don't forget to include #OTalk in your responses folks, there are a lot of questions tonight I may miss retweeting some of the tweets without the # https://t.co/F5gILn7IS6 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 5.... The next batch are about keeping track and portfolios etc.... #OTalk how do people keep a track of CPD activities? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kerri_schOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I have pretty good long term memory. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @margaretOT360 Not saying it does, but a question posed by someone in the community. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 6 Is there a correct way to structure your CPD file? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 7 Do people keep their CPD folders from previous years ? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @SarahLotstudent Just 1 T in #OTalk |
 | Sarah @SarahLotstudent @OTalk_ I have recently started a folder of my CPD, but I am up for exploring different ways to track it #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @katy_maggi @OTalk_ Now I have to do this in academia- so I save meeting minutes as hard evidence for my service to the profession requirement for my academic job. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JacqusieOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 8 What can I do as a student to get started on building a CPD portfolio? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Find out what is your vision for your career first. Then focus on CPD opportunities that directly or indirectly address such skills or areas of development. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 9... these are all very similar.... a) Do you need to block out names and addresses on certificates and letters put in CPD files? b) For emails and certificates used as evidence do you have to hide the company name and professionals name for confidentiality? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk Question 9 c) How does everyone maintain confidentiality in their CPD file? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I will answer the second one- if it is for my portfolio for my academia job, I will just turn in artifacts or whatever evidence as is, as long as my department agrees with me on what is appropriate. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AshleyN64: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don't forget the #OTalk https://t.co/eLFuGUXlnm |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AshleyN64 @OTalk_ I think a good idea perhaps can be a buddy system with a peer. That way you guys can keep each other accountable and organized. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 10.... How do I make time for CPD? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 11 Who’s responsibility is getting my CPD time? Mine or my employer? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk Question 12 I love the learning, sharing & implementing of CPD but find the formal recording of it to be a paper exercise for The HCPC. Am I along in this? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 12 What CPD activities can you engage in? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ajciliaOT No worries, it has been a busy chat with lots of questions from the community to get out there! #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Guest lecturing to help fine tune my lecturing skills. Taking on placement students to help me dealing w/ different types of students in my academia job. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ And when I recently curated TEDxAlmansorPark, I consider that experience as a decathlon of leadership training! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JacqusieOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 13 How many CPD activities do you need to do each month? |
 | Helen Willis @HumbyW @OTalk_ #OTalk it can be the last thing you want to do after a tiring day. Once a month to compile. Training is hard to come by when locuming. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 14 How do you maintain CPD in a non traditional role ? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Wow- getting some concrete numbers here, eh? Me is more seasonal. Guest lecturing usually I do in the fall. Taking placement students is year round, though. Conference presentations- depend on my mood. Peer reviewed articles- also depend on my mood. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 14b How can CPD be OT focused if you work in a non-traditional setting? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I would consider curating TEDx event a non traditional role. As long as I have good awareness of what went well and what didn’t, it is good enough... as my aim is to share it with someone else in OT who has the guts to take this challenge on! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk Question 15.... Does supervision count as CPD? if so how do I evidence this? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Funny thing when I talked about TEDxAlmansorPark, it actually made me re-examine the type of involvement will be beneficial not only for me in occupational therapy, but also the profession, too! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wowzer, with a little bit of grouping got that down to 15 questions. Super fast chat this evening, thank you to everyone who submitted a question. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Yes- I think taking placement students are in this category, no matter how long or short they are with you in terms of formal arrangement goes. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ 15 questions is A LOT for our chat. But doing my best to hang in there. #otalk 😁 |
| Helen Willis @HumbyW @ajciliaOT @OTalk_ True! #OTAlk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ajciliaOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AshleyN64: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ With only 5 minutes of the 'official' #Otalk hour left what are you take away thoughts? Any action points? https://t.co/9oGeLj9no6 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AshleyN64 @OTalk_ And another thing I thought about- what if you are a chair of an association committee? I think that is a great learning experience on how to lead... which is an important skill. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AshleyN64: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 @rcot @RCOTTrentregion For me- I have a bucket list of colleagues I want to collaborate with. I am crossing them off as my career progresses. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Later folks! #otalk |
 | you’re on mute Leo @LeonoraOT @embracingOT I am seeingthe last Q in #OTalk - sorry I have missed it but I suspect our #OT colleagues will have lots to get us thinking abt #CPD #notetoself read later - thanks @OTalk_ |
