USC Chan faculty members fill out the agenda of the first annual Research Symposium, hosted by the Occupational Therapy Association of California (OTAC) and the California Foundation for Occupational Therapy (CFOT) on July 19.

The virtual event aims to build connections between clinicians and researchers that advance evidence-based practice, and to facilitate networking for students interested in research.

Professor Mary Lawlor kicks off the event with a keynote talk and Q&A. Additional faculty members featured in panel sessions include Erna Blanche, Alison Cogan, Janet Gunter, John Margetis, Pamela Roberts, Shawn Roll and Jamie Wilcox.

“This is an incredible opportunity to learn from and celebrate our colleagues, deepen the connection to research that informs and elevates practice, and support OTAC and the California Foundation of Occupational Therapy (CFOT) in advancing occupational therapy across California!,” said OTAC President and faculty member Samia Rafeedie. “Please join us for this inaugural event! We are excited to have you!”
