Our conferences, webinars, workshops, online courses, and publications can help occupational therapy professionals excel in their career and provide evidence-informed services.

We strive to offer professional development activities that support Canadian occupational therapy professionals in providing evidence-informed services to promote the occupational participation of individuals and collectives (families, groups, communities, populations). We welcome proposals throughout the year from individuals or from teams of presenters for workshops, online courses, and webinars.

Conferences, Webinars, and Workshops that are open for registration are found in the listing of Events. Online Courses, On-Demand Practice Evidence Webinars, and Publications are available for purchase in the CAOT Store
