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 24^th 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. Kit Sinclair has been a very learned research scholar and an astute administrator and had tremendous impact on world OT.

We would request your kind office & self to give the news a wide circulation.

The details of the seminar are enclosed.

We look forward to more and more Indian OT’s making use of this wonderful opportunity and also to receive their participation certificates signed by WFOT President as an important piece of souvenir.

Thanking You,

With regards,

  

Mr. Shovan Saha
