Diversity in OT: Occupational Therapy CEU Course with Arameh Anvarizadeh

In previous courses, we’ve discussed that one of the primary ways we can improve our care, as OT professionals, is to increase the diversity of our workforce-with the ultimate goal of having our workforce’s diversity mirror the diversity of the populations we are seeing. This goal will ensure we have the multiple perspectives needed to respond to the needs of our clients. But, until now, we’ve mostly talked about this theoretically. So, what do the actual numbers have to say about the current diversity of our workforce? It’s a mixed bag.
In this 1 hour CEU course, we’ll look at a report from JAMA that estimates racial/ethnic representation in 10 U.S. healthcare professions. To give you a taste of the positive news: the percentage of Black OTs is better than in PT and SLP. But startlingly, the authors specifically call out OT for having a smaller percentage of Black OTs students than is in our workforce. In other words this measure of diversity showed shrinkage. There is so much to unpack from this data, and we are excited to welcome back to the podcast a guest from one of our most popular episodes: Arameh Anvarizadeh OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA.

Wow. What an impactful podcast/ OT potential production. I want to say that I am a devotee of Arameh probably old enough to be her mom but I feel like I planted a seed….. where she landed early in her career at CCS in Reseda. CA and have since been inspired by her as I followed her career as a Black OT Leader. I often refer to her as Arameh Anvisonarizedeh as she is about DOING …. and this subject is about doing! In our Black American culture it has been said “ if you can see it, you can be it” … being both a Visual & Auditory “sensor”, I have added “if you hear it, you bear it” and as a self-admitted senior with ADHD I'm hoping to organize and mobilize! I've had great intentions across my very long career and the impact I have made has been at the intervention and FWE levels ……NOT at the policy level! Looking at these numbers and hearing Sarah & Arameh …. as I am only 4 months away from Medicare eligibility …..Health Equity looms LARGE. I feel this may be my jumping in point to the Double Dutch Action Rope! Thank you Sarah and Arameh for this very important podcast especially as it comes in January ushering in February Black History Month and March Women's History Month while bumping up against April OT Month. Wow how strategically positioned was this for me and I hope for many many others. Let’s get into some “Good Trouble” Janyce MJOT-2-West

Sorry from Scotland (UK).

@salomeallotey1922 5 месяцев назад

Very informative 👏 especially where she highlighted " we already know the existing problems therefore, we should be talking about the changes and whether we're ready for the change".

@otpotential 5 месяцев назад

Yes!!! Great call out! I think this is something Arameh is really gifted and experienced at teaching on..... embracing the changes to our profession!
