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

Welcome to tonight’s #OTalk. Let us know if you’re here. Over to our host [REDACTED USER]
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
Ready [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #OTalk :)
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Combining #OTalk and Bake Off is practically a tradition at this point 😁
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
1) I think its about keeping a broad perspective and being open to different ways of practicing OT! :) Through uni we do have the chance to do a placement abroad in third year :) #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] #OTalk I think it’s about the appreciation of other cultures and traditions & consideration of how we incorporate them as appropriate into our work
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
[REDACTED USER] yes , European ones could get some financial support from Erasmus but as a result of Brexit I don't think we can anymore! :( #OTalk

@Nat_Pickering [REDACTED USER] Is there a pattern to where most of the overseas placements are? #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk how do you balance that with ideas of sustainability?

Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I'm not sure! It can change I think with the university partnerships at the time #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
@adamdePrimo [REDACTED USER] #OTalk it must be frustrating to learners to find most OT text in English
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #OTalk It can certainly be a challenge to meet timeframes across countries and module deliveries
#OTalk @OTalk_
Time flies. Half way through already #OTalk https://t.co/CFD6J0qP8u
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot #OTalk do you think we need other ways to connect for internationalisation other than conferences. I worry about the environmental impact of these large conferences (although I’ve attended many myself :( )
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Thats true sometimes if internationalisation isnt included in the curriculum it can be hard to find the time to get involved even if you want to! #OTalk

[REDACTED USER] @Nat_Pickering [REDACTED USER] @thewfot Sounds amazing. What’s your favourite memory from that event? #OTalk
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot #OTalk one of our challenges in higher education is to consider how we provide international experiences to all our students - is this where a spot group could come in ?
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Nat_Pickering @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot Self reminder to use the #OTalk. 👍
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot Definitely! A miniSPOT would be a way of connecting and sharing international experiences :) #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot #OTalk yes they are great. We may all need to improve digital literacy in these areas over the next few weeks!
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Nat_Pickering @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot Are you imagining a virtual forum/ online discussion space here? #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk that’s great to hear
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] What do you think you have learnt that has shaped your practice the most? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] #OTalk I’d like to see all students have at least 2 international experiences (at home) to be able to connect with other OTs & educators across the globe
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] What did you find were the biggest similarities or differences? #OTalk

Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
[REDACTED USER] I would like to see more courses having internationalisation included in the curriculum! It would help to recognise similarities and differences and encourage more students to get involved and use learning in their practice! #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
5 mins to go for tonight's #OTalk. Any final thoughts?
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #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
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk that’s an interesting idea
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk yes that’s true. Our experience is optional activities doesn’t allow students to learn as many choose to not engage
Natalie Pickering @Nat_Pickering
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes it can be tough to prioritise with deadlines and other commitments! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@debbieduckie @TecTalk2 Thanks for joining us Deb 😊 #OTalk

@mrsmcinburtott
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] #OTalk thanks [REDACTED USER] for tonight’s chat. Hopefully we will see mini spot groups for students developing more interest around internationalisation and key agendas
@OccScienceBae
@adamdePrimo [REDACTED USER] Understanding the value of connecting to the virtual OT community to their learning and professional development hasn’t landed as we’ve hoped. #OTalk
@HGTherapeutic
#SwallowAware2020 is today! Swallowing difficulties can have a severe impact on someone's quality of life and #weAHPs provide person-centred support to all affected! Fun fact: we swallow around 700-2000 times a day! #SLTchat #dysphagia #SLT #OTalk #psychology #behaviour
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] 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

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Nat_Pickering had opportunities to do placement abroad during my time as a student, but I did not pursue such at the time. That said, I have no regrets of how this is turning out. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] For sure, it is always fascinating when I go abroad to OT conferences when I met local OT's in the country. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ and of course we also talked about you going abroad to take over OT conferences by storm... haha! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ That is why I enjoy going to international conferences + participating in #otalk as an international participant.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] 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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LisaMarcella_ [REDACTED USER] for sure- I have lurked conference hashtags from RCOT, OT Australia, and CAOT over the years... especially for the conferences I was unable to make it in person. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I heard of [REDACTED USER] OT program is partnering up with @westcoastu OT program recently. So this is an Australia-USA collaboration. Of course, recently when [REDACTED USER] came to LA, it ended up being a "collaboration" of @uscchanosot, @westcoastu, and @mystanbridge. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I can help you with Cantonese and Mandarin in the future... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] haha- that's why I traveled quite young and free in the last few years... as you might have noticed. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] My high roller OT conference traveling schedule cost me about 8000 pounds a year for the last few years! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Because I was born in Hong Kong, so I have advantages in conversing with Cantonese or Mandarin speaking OT's... seen that came into play when I went to WFOT and OT Australia conferences in recent years. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot It's highlighted and circled as of now! Of course... I also want to have a golf date with Le Golf National... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot you can always get me to do a Zoom call with your OT society. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] @thewfot absolutely... to pull off my kind of conference schedule is difficult... unless you have time AND a sugar daddy/mommy to fund all the expenses. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot when I learned [REDACTED USER] was in town in LA a few weeks ago, I first checked with her on the schedule front. Then, I used my status as a faculty to arrange a visit to talk to OT assistant students at @mystanbridge's Los Angeles campus. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LisaMarcella_ @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @thewfot when @OT24Vx was a thing earlier this decade, the recordings were provided a few weeks after the live conference was over. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I heard of talks of a revival of something similar to @OT24Vx due to the cancelations of AOTA and CAOT conferences (due to COVID 19). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@adamdePrimo [REDACTED USER] and even California too. I regularly participated from Los Angeles... unless I am on the road. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @Nat_Pickering [REDACTED USER] @thewfot #2- you were very lucky. He passed away before I had a chance to meet him... as he passed away during my first year of OT school. :( #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LisaMarcella_ [REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] @thewfot @OT24Vx was like that. I loved having the ability to chat with international friends privately when the session is going on in Blackboard Collaborate. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] My first WFOT in 2014 (2 years in as qualified OT) 1. Participated in a tour hosted by Michael Iwama in Yokohama 2. Seeing Sue Baptise, Marilyn Patterson, and other notable international OT's for the first time in person. 3. Wonderful opening and closing ceremonies. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] for sure- social media has changed the ball game on this... as long as you are willing and intentional to go global! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] This gif below will be my response for the first half. I think it will pave way for other autistic OT's to build on what I have done... because they are seeing what is possible! #otalk https://t.co/crM91EWux4
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] as long as universities on both sides are receptive. On my end at @mystanbridge, still got a ways to go. So, I am hoping to bring this dimension as a faculty for both its OTA and MSOT programs. Bringing [REDACTED USER] to its LA campus was a start. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] haha- you guys probably noticed in a good bit of chats we had previously on #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I don't mind doing Zoom calls for you guys too- I will bring a blend of American and Asian perspectives to the table. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I always am up for it! I like a mentorship program idea. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think if you are in academia, make sure you not only build relationships with the unis involved first, but also take some time to do some homework on the countries that are involved in terms of their OT landscapes. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Another nickname for my Twitter account is a mini WFOT. I have just a bit less followers than the @thewfot official account, but bigger than [REDACTED USER] and [REDACTED USER] Twitter accounts. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I think one way is- if academics have broad international network AND are savvy enough to be aware of when their international friends are coming to town, make sure to send them invites to visit their units and talk to their students. Of course... this has to go both ways. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I wonder if I am one of your case studies... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] When [REDACTED USER] came to @mystanbridge's LA campus, we promoted it as a brown bag lunch event. We want to provide students the option instead of making it mandatory. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott I spoke about that during my networking and mentoring lecture at @westcoastu OT students. I purposely highlighted my connections with the instructors they already know! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] 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
