Welcome from the AESIS Chairperson
The Academic Education Special Interest Section (AESIS) includes all who are interested in OT education, including educators, fieldwork educators, academic fieldwork coordinators, doctoral capstone coordinators, admissions persons, and students. Moving into this Fall semester, we have a number of opportunities from Practice Chats to Mentoring Programs, and our Communities of Practice. I hope that you will find something that provides you with expanded knowledge or just connecting with like-minded educators. Please explore what all the AESIS has to offer in the following pages!
