Hello! My name is Yi-Lin, and I am searching for Occupational Therapists from around the world who are currently in a coaching/mentoring/educator role. I am wanting to build a network of like-minded clinicians so that we can discuss current practice, any new articles or research of interest, and also what is currently working in their setting or what has not worked in the past! For some context - I am an Occupational Therapist in New Zealand. I have recently commenced a newly established role at a rehabilitation hospital here (mainly with older adults but there are exceptions). My role is developing and implementing a coaching environment - particularly supporting new graduate Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapists returning to practice after a break in their career, and any international Occupational Therapists coming to work at this particular hospital. The other part of this role is with supporting our Allied Health Assisants and ensuring that they're working to the best of their potential. It's just me doing this role, so I would love to have some other contacts, and even better if people are from around the world as we can easily get stuck in our own little bubble here in New Zealand! I would love to hear from you if you are or have been in a similar education role or if you are keen to find out more, even if it's a general chat about Occupational Therapy here in New Zealand. Thank you! Yi-Lin
