Chelsea Steffens (O2) was accepted to the Summer Institute for Future Scientists in Occupational Therapy by the American Occupational Therapy Association.

Steffens will meet doctoral and post-doctoral mentors during the program to discuss research and opportunities in occupational therapy science on June 18 in Fort Collins, CO. She will attend the Occupational Therapy Summit of Scholars at Colorado State University June 19–20.

“I chose to pursue the Summer Institue for Future Scientists in OT because I want to be a therapist driven to question practices, discover, and challenge treatments for the best patient outcomes, and to do so in light of the philosophy of the OT field,” said Steffens. “This will assist me in my drive to use previous and current practices in the field to guide future research and to contribute to the growing body of knowledge and practices of the field.”
