My name is Lisa Heisler. As well as serving as VP for Practice for the Wisconsin Occupational Therapy Association, I work as an OTR in WI in private practice. I have recently been placed as the moderator for the Yahoo group: OTnPP. This is a group for OT’s who are in private practice. The benefits of joining is to provide an opportunity to network, seek information from peers, to share frustrations, gain insights from others and enable a means to connect with other OT’s in private practice across the country. Those who join this group do not need to be members of their state association nor AOTA in order to participate. Joining this group is free of charge, but therapists do need to sign up by going to the following link.

When I moved to Arizona from Wisconsin 3 years ago, the first place I searched for jobs was on the ArizOTA website. The list was extensive, which made me excited about the multiple possibilities available to me. I ended up accepting a job with a company listed on that website and continue to work at the same facility.
Three years later, I am now a lead therapist. We consistently use the ArizOTA job posting areas on the website and newsletter due to the success we have had with finding quality therapists. It is also extremely economical and accessible to many possible candidates from across the United States and the world! I also feel the attractiveness and user friendly aspect of the website invites candidates to explore its many features.
All in all, I feel that advertising for O.T. job openings with ArizOTA is the best choice your company can make!!

As the lazy days of summer end, and the fall season begins, we find ourselves looking to the future for educational experiences that relate to the field in which we practice. The Gerontology Special Interest Group will provide a forum for therapists to share ideas, education, and support within this exciting area of practice. I would like to call on all those who are interested, to indicate ‘”Gerontology” under “Area of Practice” on your ArizOTA membership renewal form. As well, there will be a sign up sheet at the annual ArizOTA Conference in September. It is my hope that we can make this a meaningful and successful interest group. Please look for updates at www.arizota.org. Sincerely, Tara Wigal-Wertsching, OTR/L. |
