19th Annual Vanderkooi Endowed Lectureship
2012 Fanny B. Vanderkooi Endowed Lecture
"The Evidence-Based Practitioner in High Definition: Knowledge, Attitude, and Voice"
"In this presentation, I will provide a preview of what an evidence-based occupational therapist looks like in high definition. I will illustrate why knowing the evidence is not enough. In everyday practice, occupational therapists must be able to make points succinctly, be fluent in conceiving ideas, speak and act with confidence and embody the highest level of professionalism." - Dr. Florence Clark
