Welcome to the show notes for Episode 8 of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast.
In this episode, Jayson and Abby look at the many ways to earn professional development per NBCOT guidelines and share 9 specific places where you can earn your needed Professional Development Units (PDUs) or Competency Assessment Units (CAUs) as NBCOT calls them. We also announce that we will soon be offering professional development units for those who listen to the podcast and take a short quiz to prove you have listened and learned the objectives we intended to be learned through the episode.
Have a listen if you would like to have these three questions answered:
1. Who needs continuing education and how many units do you need?
2. What counts as professional development?
3. Where can I earn professional development units?
