In spring of 2020, telehealth exploded in the U.S. when health professionals needed to socially distance from their patients in order to deliver care without spreading Covid-19. How did they adapt? What advantages did they realize and what barriers did they overcome? Amanda and Rachel interviewed Amy Lamont, current occupational therapist and MGH IHP alum, about her qualitative study exploring the experience of OTs using telepractice to work with low vision clients. They also discuss the Advanced Doctoral Experience of the IHP's entry level OTD program, participant recruitment during a pandemic, accessibility, and the joys of writing and submitting an IRB application. The episode opens with important announcements!

Read Amy's paper (written with Kasey Brown and Kim Schoessow) Experiences of occupational therapists using telehealth to continue to treat patients with low vision during the COVID-19 pandemic in World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin.
