Occupational Therapy: A Global perspective


Dear Sir/ Madam,

We are pleased to share with you that Dr. Kit Sinclair, immediate past President of WFOT and a world renowned personality in the field of Occupational Therapy has kindly consented to be the Key resource person for a COTE Program at Department of Occupational Therapy, MCOAHS, Manipal, on 24th Jan, 2012.
                                  
The visit of WFOT President to an Occupational Therapy school in India will be a historical moment, as this has not happened ever before. It would open up great opportunity for Indian OT’s to interact with the WFOT President face to face. Getting to hear about world occupational therapy perspective from an authority of the stature of Kit Sinclair will be very exciting.
