    Gracie, thank you so much for sharing your experience during this FW rotation! I agree with you that it is quite a change to go from performing tests on your peers, who know what you are doing, to actually doing them on patients. What a great opportunity you had though, and I hope you felt somewhat prepared for it! I want you encourage you, having come from a mental health rotation, that a lot of things in mental health are not clear! That was a huge takeaway for me, but the exciting part of it was that I was able to define what type of role I wanted to make for myself in that setting. I know you will be able to thrive once you figure out what role works best for you!

    Hey Gracie!

    I am glad you had a good learning experience during our very last Level I Fieldwork rotation! I completely agree that a transfer in real life is very different, in comparison to transferring a peer. I also felt like this was a very big part of my rotation that helped me. Being able to be hands on and still have guidance is such a good way to learn!

    Relearning the milestones to prepare for a pediatric rotation is a really good idea and also on my to-do list, because I will be at on outpatient pediatric clinic for Level II Fieldwork A. I feel like after a year of learning, this information has completely slipped away from me.

    Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Gracie! I'm glad your fieldwork went well! It seems like you got a lot of hands on experience which is the way I learn! I also got to do some assessing ROM and MMT and I agree that it is different with clients than classmates. I'm excited to hear more when we get back to campus. I hope you have a great break!!

The Relevance of the OTPF

The OTPF is an influence to the practice of occupational therapy because it helps to create an overall picture of how clients should be evaluated and treated. Because the field of occupational therapy has a top-down approach, it gives the occupational therapist the opportunity to get to know the client on a deeper level. I believe it is so important to understand the client as a whole and as an individual person, rather than simply knowing the issues they are dealing with. Therefore, the OTPF is an important factor in making occupational therapists, not only better at their jobs, but better at being good listeners and interpreters.

OT 532: Journal Article Review

The journal article I chose was a study based on occupation based groups for low-income urban youths. It was a qualitative study that looked at after school youth groups that allowed kids to talk about any anger they may have and how they can manage that anger and turn it into something positive. These youth groups also allowed the kids to choose the leisure activities they wanted to participate in, which was shown to create a more positive and interactive atmosphere that increased the mood of the kids. These groups allowed the participants to engage in meaningful activities and interact with each other in a way that might not be typical or normal on a day to day basis. The study was phenomenological and took information from the perspectives of the individual group members. The groups were weekly and they involved children attending religious, inner-city school. The study was supervised by a certified occupational therapist and 22 occupational therapy students. Seventy kids, ranging ...

Neuro Note #3: Can the damaged brain repair itself?

Siddharthan Chandran: Can the damaged brain repair itself?  In his TED Talk, Siddharthan talks about the different diseases that can affect the brain and what the individual diseases do to different aspects of the brain. Throughout his talk, he showed illustrations that reveal what happens to the brain when a person has a disease such as Alzheimer's disease or Multiple Sclerosis. After informing his audience that there are over 35 million people living with a brain disease, he goes on to explain that the annual cost is more than one percent of the world's gross domestic product (GDP), at 70 billion dollars. Siddharthan also goes on to explain that these numbers are not slowing down because people are living longer, and therefore, these age-related diseases will only continue to grow. Siddharthan also went into the topic of stem cells and how they can regenerate themselves or become specialized cells, in order to be used in whatever part of the body might need them. I de...
