Seven ways to increase your impact as a student

 

Kushal Shah, OTDS, reflects on ways to become more involved in the occupational therapy community as a student. 

 

"Occupational therapy advocacy is equivalent to investing in myself, as occupational therapy is an important part of my identity. I seek to bring awareness of occupational therapy and encourage active participation by other students because I want more people to see the captivating intricacies of our profession, adding to the inspirational community connecting all of us."
