A podcast about daily life as an occupational therapist (OT). I would love to share my story with people and to create meaningful and thoughtful discussion so everyone can come together.
Not many people truly understand what occupational therapy is, and I aim to increase the awareness of this wonderful profession. Episodes will range from advocacy to discussion on specific areas of practice and about what I experience first hand working in a rehabilitation hospital.
For this episode I wanted to provide you with my personal experience with COVID-19 working as an inpatient rehab OT. Having these discussions can help us better understand how we as a profession can help survivors of COVID-19 return home. As always, check out my website for more information and resources! https://theydailyoccupation.wixsite.com/podcast/resources
