Tara Champion
@tarachampion
I bring 21 years of clinical judgment to evaluating nuanced healthcare information and AI outputs.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’ve spent 21 years as an Occupational Therapist, reviewing complex information, interpreting standardized assessments, and turning evidence into clear, defensible conclusions.
At Live Fit Rehabilitation, I complete functional, cognitive functional, ergonomic, and chronic pain assessments and programs. Through Champion Occupational Therapy Consulting, I provide mental health services to veterans, paediatric services, and menopause management.
My work has also included paediatric occupational therapy at Janeway Children’s Rehabilitation Centre and multidisciplinary mental health intervention with the Assertive Community Treatment Team at Central Health.
I’m drawn to the intersection of clinical expertise and AI evaluation, where real-world reasoning can help ensure outputs are accurate, nuanced, practical, and genuinely useful. I’m ready to bring my clinical perspective into more non-clinical work and share how valuable occupational therapy can be.
