Question:<\/strong> My job title does not include \u201coccupational therapist\u201d, how can I communicate that I am an occupational therapist?  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0Standards for Use of Title<\/a>,\u00a0 Standard 9 \u2013 Job Titles outlines how to communicate your occupational therapist designation when your job title does not include occupational therapist.\u00a0 \u201cIn situations where an individual\u2019s job qualifications require them to be an occupational therapist or a regulated health professional, it is important for the occupational therapist to acknowledge their status as a regulated health professional in addition to their job title. By using the protected title together with a job title, the occupational therapist confirms their registration as an occupational therapist and their accountability to the College.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
