New Bylaws
On December 5, 2022, the Colombian College of Occupational Therapy- CCTO held an extraordinary assembly to approve the revision of the bylaws of our constitution. This project started in 2020 through a special task force. The new bylaws strengthen the objectives and functions of the CCTO, expand the participation of professionals and students in the multiple CCTO strategies, and, most importantly, allow for greater integration and collective work of occupational therapists from different regions of the country.
