- ENOTHE webinar series “Occupational Therapy Education in [Country Name]“
The webinar explores the landscape of occupational therapy in Switzerland, tracing its structure, education and further education perspectives, and future direction.
Beginning with an overview of the country’s characteristics, it highlights how occupational therapists are distributed across diverse work settings, reflecting regional needs and professional specialization. The field presents, indeed, a dynamic and varied environment where therapists accompany clients across the lifespan in diverse settings.
Swiss occupational therapy education is offered at four universities of applied sciences. The Bachelor of Science programs integrate theoretical foundations, supervised fieldwork, and interprofessional learning, preparing students for evidence-informed and context-sensitive practice. Continuing education follows two principal pathways: research-oriented programs that support academic progression and practice-focused programs that enhance advanced clinical competencies.
Finally, the webinar looks ahead toward future development, envisioning a profession that innovate, and strengthen its role within Swiss healthcare.

During this webinar, we will provide an overview of occupational therapy education in France and open a dialogue on our main successes and current challenges at a national level. We will give a brief presentation of the various national representative bodies for occupational therapy. We will share the organisation of our 3-year national curriculum, which includes 9 months of practical placements. We will also discuss the Master’s program in Occupational Therapy, launched in 2021 as a remote learning program, for graduated occupational therapists. Finally, we will outline the changes planned for the coming years.
This webinar will be led by Lisbeth Charret and Mélissa Desrosiers (ADERE, Paris), Bénédicte Dubois (IFPEK, Rennes), and Cynthia Engels (Master’s in Occupational Therapy, UPEC).
An excellent way to prepare for your next annual meeting in Toulouse!
