Tampa Campus Occupational Therapy Faculty Members Join Roster of Fellows
-
- Dennis McCarthy
Kurt Hubbard, Ph.D., O.T.D., OTR/L, FAOTA, adjunct professor, and Dennis McCarthy Ph.D., OTR/L, FAOTA, associate professor and director of student affairs and marketing, were awarded Fellow status by the American Occupational Therapy Association.
The Roster of Fellows was established in 1973. Fellow status is awarded to occupational therapists, who, through their knowledge, expertise, leadership, advocacy, and/or guidance, have made a significant contribution over time to the profession, with a measured impact on consumers of occupational therapy services and/or members of the association.
As part of the application process, a seven-word statement that directly captures the significant impact of the individual’s contribution is required. This statement is then embedded in the award.
Hubbard’s statement is “Innovative Visionary Linking Practice, Research, and Education.” This statement reflects his leadership endeavors and his vision for the future of occupational therapy practice. McCarthy’s statement is “Paving the OT Professional Road Less Traveled,” which reflects his research agenda and community involvement with elderly individuals and transportation.
