Arameh Anvarizadeh OTD ’07

Track: Policy and Administrative Leadership

I was and still am very interested in how public policy impacts the health and wellness of communities. In my OTD coursework, I made sure to take classes in the USC Price School of Public Policy and I also took leadership courses so that I can continue to develop programs, create organizational structures, and be an influence in the growth of associations, academia, and facilities in which I am involved. I believe that it is because of my OTD that I have received so many career growth opportunities including: program development committees, guest lectures/presentations, video presentations, labor/management committees, state and national association leadership, AOTA Emerging Leader program, non-profit board, and leadership roles at my facility.

Note: Arameh is now Associate Professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy in the Chan division.
