About This Podcast

The Amplify OT Podcast is your go-to show for making sense of healthcare policy, advocacy, and reimbursement in occupational therapy. Hosted by Clarice Grote—occupational therapist, founder of Amplify OT, and self-proclaimed policy nerd who actually enjoys reading the long documents most people avoid—this podcast breaks down complex systems so you can navigate them with confidence. No matter where you are in your occupational therapy journey—student, new grad, educator, or experienced clinician—you belong here as an important part of our OT Amplifier community. Each episode is designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to understand how policy impacts your practice, your patients, and the future of the profession. The work you do matters. Your voice matters. And advocacy isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. So let’s get started—because change starts here.
