InstructorS
Chloe Vollmer, OTD
Chloe Flynt Vollmer graduated from the University of Florida’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program in 2022. Chloe’s Level II fieldwork experiences were in acute care and outpatient hand therapy. Working with patients with delirium in her acute care Level II fieldwork sparked an interest in this population, leading to the development of this continuing education course focusing on the role of OT in addressing delirium as her capstone project. She is passionate about interdisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based care, advocacy for patients with delirium, advancing the role of occupational therapy in primary care, and working with underserved populations.
