#117 OTA Hot Topics with Amy Mahle
Occupational therapy assistants are the bedrock of treatment provision in many OT departments throughout the country.
In fact, In large rural SNFs, around 58% of OT staffing minutes are by OTAs.
And, in rural and underserved communities, about 48% of all Medicare outpatient therapy services are provided by OTAs.
But, not enough continuing education has been geared towards the unique challenges and opportunities within this profession. That’s why I’m so thankful to begin a new annual series on Hot Topics for OTAs, with our first guest, Amy Mahle Ed.D., COTA/L, ROH.
Amy and I will discuss the hot topics that are top of mind headed into 2026: from changing reimbursement to the OTA pipeline, to new technologies at the point of care.
This course is perfect for both occupational therapy assistants, and occupational therapists who are curious to learn more about our closest colleagues.
