Master of Occupational Therapy second-year students Rosie Higgins, Sylvie Rousseau and Chad Foster created a short video on occupational therapy with the goal of winning the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy’s 2012 gOT Spirit Challenge. Within a few hours of posting, the video hit 500 views, which increased to 1,000 views per day, and now has over 70,000 views on YouTube. The video has gone international with requests to feature and subtitle the video in Singapore, Spain and the U.K.
The gOT Spirit Challenge is an annual competition for occupational therapy students across Canada to enhance awareness about occupational therapy during the month of October (also known as OT month).
