Happy OT Month everyone! You do incredible work in our community and are SO appreciated!

Last week, our first-year students had the valuable opportunity to participate in Legislative Day at the state capital, actively representing and promoting the occupational therapy profession.

Legislative Day provides students with meaningful exposure to the intersection of healthcare, public policy, and professional practice. Throughout the day, our students connected with OT and OTA students from across Oregon, strengthened their understanding of the OT/OTA supervision relationship, and heard updates from the Oregon Occupational Therapy Licensing Board regarding licensure and regulatory considerations. They also toured the Capitol and observed legislative proceedings in action.

Several students had the opportunity to meet directly with state legislators and legislative staff to share personal perspectives, highlight the role of occupational therapy assistants in supporting clients across the lifespan, and advocate for policies that promote equitable access to high-quality care. These conversations reinforced how legislation and regulation directly influence clinical practice and underscored the importance of professional advocacy.

Experiences like Legislative Day empower OTA students to recognize their role not only as future practitioners, but also as informed and engaged professionals with a voice in shaping healthcare policy and advancing the profession.

We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the collaboration with fellow programs across the state, including George Fox University OTD, Pacific University OTD, and Western Oregon University OTD.
