In this episode, we welcomed Kirsten Peterson Beshay (kirstenbeshay@gmail.com), an occupational therapist in the Sargent post-professional occupational therapy doctoral program. As an ergonomic consultant, Kirsten shared her advice on how to adjust the equipment and settings in an irregular workplace to prioritize personal health during the pandemic. She also talked about her doctoral project, an online course that helps bridge the gap between ergonomics and occupational therapy.
The moderator of the podcast is Dr. Karen Jacobs (kjacobs@bu.edu), who is the Associate Dean, Digital Learning and Innovation, a Clinical Professor and the Program Director for the on-line post-professional doctorate in the occupational therapy program at Sargent College.
Marial Williams (marialw@bu.edu), a Boston University entry-level occupational therapy doctoral student, composed the music for the podcast.
