    Jess,

    It sounds like you had a great time on your fieldwork experience! I think it always feels great when we, as students, are able to contribute to the evaluation process. Dealing with insurance and discharge planning can be very complex and as future therapists it is important that we be informed on our role in discharge planning. I think more information on that would be very helpful. Can't wait to hear all about it when we get back to school!

    Jess,

    I am so glad that you ended up really liking acute care! I know that it can be intimidating going into an environment that you're not so confident in, but I am glad that it ended up going really well! I also feel that billing and insurance is something that I need more practice in and am definitely looking forward to that when we get back to campus. I bet that was something that was really challenging at your facility considering a lot of the clients didn't have insurance! I enjoyed watching your video and can't wait to hear more about it!

Life Balance Model

     I chose to look into the Life Balance Model developed by Kathleen Matuska. This would fall under an occupational therapy model of practice (MoP). The idea behind this model is that life balance can be achieved when an individual participates in activities that are meeting their basic physical needs, that are rewarding and include self-affirming relationships with other people, are engaging, challenging, and make the individual feel competent, and establish meaning and identity to that individual. This is all included in the individual's context and environment. This model is applicable for all populations (all ages and all disabilities, or no disability). "Functional" according to this theory would be that an individual does participate in activities in their daily life that allow them to have life balance (according to the aspects of life balance listed above). An occupational therapist could measure stress or life satisfaction (using a questionnaire) because the th...

Mock Interview Reflection

     I believe that this assignment is an extremely beneficial and critical part of our curriculum, especially at this point in OT school. By preparing answers to common interview questions, I was given the opportunity to really reflect on the things I have learned about myself and the profession. It also allowed me to explore the areas that I have challenged myself and grown in during my time so far in OT school. I am able to process and reflect best when I write things down or journal, so I utilized this method primarily to prepare for the mock interview. Through my own personal reflection and through exploring resources that were posted for us to look at, I learned the importance of having goals and looking prospectively. Employers really do want to see that you are not desiring to remain stagnant as an OT practitioner. They commonly will ask about your professional goals for the next year or five years, or how you plan on continuing to be a life-long learner even aft...
