#lastweek our OT program leadership, faculty, and students, helped organize and participate in an online #openhouse event to launch a monthly series aimed at raising awareness about the importance of increasing inclusion and diversity within the practice of Occupational Therapy. This event was put together by the Multicultural, Diversity and Inclusion (MDI) Network Executive Council. The MDI Network is a volunteer organization made up of various groups of cultural minority affiliation whose mission is to educate and ultimately include those marginalized in OT education, employment opportunities and as recipients of our services. One MDI group, The Orthodox Jewish Occupational Therapy Chavrusa (OJOTC), is co-chaired by Touro's Dr. Rivka Molinsky, Dean of Students and Innovation, and Dr. Shifra Leiser, assistant professor NYC OT Program. Touro OT alumni as well as current students joined the meeting. Second year OT students, Melanie Chu (pictured here) and Shoshana Fohrman, serve as Touro OT student liaisons to the MDI network. #inclusionanddiversity #inclusion #raiseawareness #starttheconversation #mdi #touroot #occupationaltherapy #otprogram #otschool #tourohealthsciences
