In her final episode as CAOT host, Justine Jecker is joined by Paula Rowland, an OT turned organizational scholar and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, and Richard Kellowan, a clinician–educator with two decades of experience across Canada, Ireland, and the UK, for a reflective and forward-looking discussion on the evolving landscape of the profession.
The trio explores how occupational therapy has transformed over the past two decades, how personal perspectives shift from training to mid-career practice, and how OTs can navigate increasing system complexity while elevating their role. Together, they imagine bold, thoughtful directions for strengthening and stewarding the profession for the next generation.
