Professional Development Workshops
The Manitoba Society of Occupational Therapists promotes or conducts several workshops each year devoted to professional development. The workshops give MSOT members and other occupational therapists an opportunity to develop new skills, expand their knowledge or learn more about the latest development and trends in the profession.
In addition to offering MSOT-organized courses, MSOT will partner with other groups to offer sessions of interest to broader audiences.
A list of upcoming workshops, courses and sessions is posted below.
