Early Career Fellowship in Hand Therapy
We welcome early-career occupational therapists and physiotherapists and employers to consider the Early Career Fellowship in Hand Therapy.
The program will support practice owners and health services to train early career therapists. Supervision and training time commitment by the employer is minimal compared to traditional on-the-job training.
To register for the program, individuals must work alongside an experienced practitioner in hand therapy in a practice or health setting that offers hand therapy.
Program intakes are in January, April, July and October.
Applications for the January 2024 intake are now open.
The program is not associated with the Accredited Hand Therapist (AHT) credential. The program is considered introductory.
