Working Together for Excellence in Fieldwork Education
The FLOTEC award recipients are being honored by the Florida Occupational Therapy Educational Consortium (FLOTEC) in recognition of their Dedication, Commitment and Service to Occupational Therapy Fieldwork Education.
Every year FLOTEC selects fieldwork educators from across the state, and honors them with the Award of Excellence. Award recipients have been nominated and selected by an academic program or students as a fieldwork educator who exhibits superior communication, interpersonal behaviors, professional and teaching behaviors.
