Since 2007 AATO regularly participates in the meetings of the National Advisory Commission for the Exercise of University Degree Professions in Health, of the National Ministry of Health representing OT in Argentina, for the uniformity of bachelor's degrees in OT, for the recognition of current OT specializations via residences and academics and the creation and recognition of new ones.
Recently the National Ministry of Health , based on our national occupational therapy law 27.051/14 which provides the specialties to practice (Chap, IX) approved the recognition of certification of Occupational Therapist specialist in Community Health through Resolution 1549 /22. Please view here.
Colleagues who have completed an Interdisciplinary Residency in Mental Health (RISAM in Spanish) will be able to certify a specialty in Community Mental Health. They must start the process here.
In addition, we remind you that those who have obtained specialization in: Public Health, Health Services Audit, Health Services Management and Epidemiology, considered multi-professional specialties, may also obtain their specialist certificate by Resolution 1549/22. The procedure to start the file can be viewed here.
Specialist certificate without examination: this procedure authorizes advertising as a specialist health professional in the field of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. You can request the registration of medical, dental, nursing, psychology, occupational therapy and music therapy specialties in the Ministry of Health of the Nation to announce yourself as such. Keep in mind that the specialty is certified only once, with a single title or certificate, that is, if you certify with a certificate of recognized residence, then you cannot do it with any other.
At AATO we continue to work for the recognition, hierarchy, development of our profession, quality of training and rights of all colleagues in the country.

Today the certificates of specialist in Community Mental Health and Clinical Psychology were delivered to different health professionals, including fellow therapists occupational.
We share an extract of the note published by the Ministry of Health of the Nation and we share it so that you can read it:
"For the first time, the Ministry is registering occupational therapists in its records of specialists, who until now were trained in residences but did not have the possibility of registering as specialists. Based on regulatory changes and the incorporation of new processes, the registration as specialists of all health professions that are established by law. Along this path, the Argentine Association of Occupational Therapy played a key role in achieving regulatory changes and accompanying the interests of the professional group."
In the photo, our president, Lic. Andrea Albino together with Lic. Sara Daneri and the colleagues who received their certificates.
Congratulations!!!
