Wisconsin Therapy Association Day at the Capitol
The entire student body and faculty from the Occupational Therapy program took a bus to Madison on October 19, 2011 to support the Wisconsin Therapy Association Day at the Capitol event. We were part of a state wide effort to bring awareness of the occupational therapy profession to our state legislators. After a brief orientation by Teri Black, the president of WOTA, we joined students and therapists from other parts of the state to meet with legislators to both explain occupational therapy and to talk about legislative issues of concern to us.

Student Research - CATS Papers
The University of
Wisconsin-La Crosse Occupational Therapy Program
is pleased to publish Critically Appraised
Topics (CATS) papers written by the students of
the class of 2011 as an assignment in the
Evidence Based Practice Course.
CATS are structured around a clinical
question that asks, “what is the effectiveness
of (a particular intervention) compared with (a
comparison intervention) to increase/decrease
(specific outcome) in people with (a
particular condition).”
Each paper lays out the clinical question,
provides theoretical, scientific, and medical
background, details the search strategy used,
summarizes the articles selected, analyzes one
article in detail, and synthesizes the results
of the articles to answer the clinical question
posed.
