To celebrate the life of Debbie Hebert, we are collecting memorial donations through the UHN Foundation, to create an annual occupational therapy (OT) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) award in Debbie's name. Our goal is to raise $5000 dollars. We see this award as a way to remember Debbie and her passion for advancing OT practice.
Among many things, Debbie was known for being a trailblazer for CPD for OTs. She demonstrated that through leadership in the Faculty of Medicine CPD committee, and as the chair of the CPD branch in the Department of Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto. In her role as Practice Leader for OT at Toronto Rehab, she brought in processes related to building skills within OT practice. Debbie always had vision for exciting learning opportunities for OTs and brought many relevant courses for OTs/OTAs at TRI, UHN and the broader OT community.
