About Us

Hi there, and welcome to OT on the Hill!


This site was created in August, 2019 by two doctoral interns and their residency mentor.

We shared a mutual passion for all things occupational therapy, advocacy, leadership, program and policy development.

We welcome you to follow along in our journey on the Hill, and look forward to future thought provoking discussion!*
