AJRT Announcement

As the last couple of posts, this post comes from the ATRAnet Listserv, this time from Lin Buettner.

Dear Friends, Happy New Year,I am writing to ask you to spread the word about the new features of the American Journal of Recreational Therapy in your region of the country.

We all know of recreational therapists that need continuing education and travel to conferences is often not an option. AJRT now offers CEUs in each issue and 5-8 high quality practice and educational based articles. Each article impacts on evidence-based interventions in the profession. It is an important time to encourage local hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, community based agencies to subscribe to AJRT and to stay up to date with best practices and regulations that impact quality of care. If an educational institution or agency subscribes, all CTRSs benefit from the CEU opportunities throughout the year. AJRT is also available online for use in the classroom or for in-services at agencies. Simply pull up the article and project it for your staff to evaluate. In the back of each issue are post-test questions that can be submitted to ATRA for continuing education credits. AJRT is currently peered reviewed and indexed in several databases and serves as a proud partner to ATRA.

Thank you for sharing this with local agencies, former students, and colleagues that might benefit from this information. Staying up to date with continuing education is vital to every practicing therapist and to our profession. The link below provides subscription information and abstracts from the past nine years.
