In the 2023 State Occupational Licensing Index published by the Archbridge Institute, Noah Trudeau and I found that Arkansas licenses more occupations than any other state in the country. Interestingly, at least 39 occupations are NOT licensed in 30 or more states. Jobs like psychological technicians, orthotic assistants, art therapists, music therapists, and soil scientists are a subset of these 39 occupations. It doesn't make sense for Arkansas to have uniquely burdensome regulation for these jobs-- it is a burden to both aspiring workers and consumers in the state. See the full list in the link below and look for more reports like this for every state in the near future. #arkanasas #licensing #reform

I had the pleasure of speaking at the Georgia Occupational Therapy Conference. My goal was to share valuable insight for minority Occupational Therapy Practitioners who want to transition careers and step into academia.Having a resume isn't enough, a career change is like marketing a business: 1. Define the problem you solve that's a perfect fit for an organization2. Position your expertise/ skills as a invaluable solution.3. Selling yourself with confidence is required. I can go on, but career transitions can utilize some of the same business and marketing concepts to win the right position and salary. #diversityinhighereducation#speaker #occupationaltherapy
