From Anxious to Confident: Empowering Critical Thinking in Neuro Practice with OTu (October 2025)

Faculty Webinar - OTu

While students are excited to learn about OT for neuro conditions, they are often anxious as well due to the complexity of these clients. Neurological practice requires more than memorization—it calls for deep reasoning and applied problem-solving. This webinar will showcase how OTu’s videos, case studies, and clinical scenarios can help students sharpen their thinking skills and develop sound clinical reasoning, building competence and confidence. Register today to discover teaching strategies that move students from confusion to clarity through focused, engaging neuro content.
