⬇️ Here are the top 6 downloaded courses of 2021! ⬇️
At OT Potential we are proud to provide CEU podcast courses, which are offered as a benefit of membership in the OT Potential Club.
The OT Potential Club is designed to help you stay up to date with evidence-based practice by reviewing influential new evidence. It also offers you a place to discuss how the research influences your practice.
For each CEU podcast course we offer, we discuss important research with an expert guest. Our hope is that the discussion will capture the nuances of the topics, while also providing actionable steps toward improving your practice.
On our course page, you can search for the courses that are right for your needs:

The OT Potential Club: Designed to address your occupational therapy continuing education needs
Because the OT Potential Club offers a unique learning style, we sometimes have questions about whether our courses meet specific continuing education requirements.
For OTs, the US, we are AOTA-approved, and meet the requirements for NBCOT. (You can read more about this in: Can OTs Earn CEUs from a Podcast?
With our convenient format and tests to earn course certificates, you can fit continuing education into your schedule. Choose from more than 35 existing courses, with a new course added every two weeks.

Independent online occupational therapy courses (from your fellow therapists)
In addition to the major providers of OT continuing education that help you keep up to date with a wide variety of topics, there are a growing number of course creators that help you dive into niche topics. These niche CEUs can be an important part of specializing to support your specific OT interests or individual needs for your practice.
Honestly, we at OT Potential are friends with many of these providers and are proud to share their CE courses 🙂.
