Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of occupational therapy providers (OTPs) in regards to using podcasts for earning continuing education units (CEUs). The study included 106 participants from various backgrounds who completed an online, 18-question survey. The findings concluded that most OTPs (83%) were unaware of the option of podcasts as a way to earn CEUs. However, practitioners of all ages, years of experience, and practice settings were willing to use podcasts. Additionally, they found podcasts to be valid, effective, and convenient. The overall positive perceptions about the research question suggest that creating additional podcasts to OTPs’ liking may increase utilization of evidence-based practice. Additionally, for a population with dense workloads and increasing burnout rates, further research is needed to explore podcasts as a potential avenue to alleviate these burdens.
