As we get ready, a quick reminder of the #OTalk rules: 1) don't forget the hashtag! (it's how people can follow the chat, and how we collect all the tweets for a transcript at the end) https://t.co/m2oAFTC1y8
#OTalk @OTalk_
2) Be nice, no "isms" (racism, sexism, etc...), respect confidentiality and be mindful of RCOT, HCPC and employer guidelines regarding social media #OTalk https://t.co/b6gD8k5awA
#OTalk @OTalk_
And 3) don't be shy! Everyone is welcome to join in and the more info and opinions we're sharing the better 😁 #OTalk https://t.co/u4P7mi5cOm

@AnnieSevern_OT @SPOTeurope #OTalk is this feasible for all students though & how do we ensure the quality of the placement experience? Don’t get me wrong I’d love it too but unsure how it would work for all students

@AnnieSevern_OT @SPOTeurope #OTalk that’s an interesting idea

@SPOTeurope late to the ball game, but I will answer this question. For the first half, that means the ability to have my work be visible/known at a global level. As for opportunities, being able to bring it to RCOT, CAOT, OT Australia, and WFOT conferences has been part of my plan. #otalk

@SPOTeurope A2. Although I studied at a top program in USA (T1 this year in USA according to US News), I wished my instructors talked more about opportunities for internationalization/globalization as a professional trajectory. So, I try to make up for it as someone in academia. #otalk

@AnnieSevern_OT @mrsmcinburtott @SPOTeurope I agree. Going global is not everyone's interest. It has interest for me- not because I was glory seeking. Rather, I believe sharing my lived experiences could be valuable to a wider audience than just in California or just in USA in general. #otalk
