Evidence-Based Symposia

The Occupational Therapy Program's evidence-based symposia seek to foster collaboration among students, clinicians, and faculty for the sake of discovering and disseminating information about treatment effectiveness. This annual meeting has its roots in the collection of ideas or topics from clinicians and faculty. Students select a topic and perform the research for the available evidence supporting an approach or specific technique in therapy. The findings are presented to the community in the late fall via oral presentations and posters, and then posted on this web page for general access.

Please direct your ideas for future research topics to Yvonne Swinth, Associate Professor.
