AGENDA

9:00 AM to 10 AM
Session with Catherine Donnelly, PhD, associate professor at the School of Rehabilitation Therapy, Queen’s University

IHPs are a key piece of teams, but we do not yet have IHP-centric outcomes to show our merit. Catherine will discuss her research project that integrates outcomes in IHP practice.

10 AM to 11 AM
Clinically-focused discussion facilitated by Marg Alfieri, Chair, IHP Advisory Council

• This is your opportunity to tell AFHTO, the inaugural IHP Advisory Council and each other what matters to you. What are the issues that keep you up at night? If there was one thing you would change in your practice/team, what would it be?

11 AM to 12 PM
Interprofessional break-out session

Members get 50% off registration for both full conference and single-day passes. Contact info@afhto.ca for your member access code to get the discount when you register.

Session lead needed for the Administration session

Every year the administration group is one of the largest IHP sessions, but there currently is no volunteer to lead this breakout. If you’re in administration and you’d like to facilitate this session for your peers, please contact Beth MacKinnon by September 12.
