WORST PARTS of being an Occupational Therapist II ENDLESS EDUCATION

Today we are discussing the "negatives" or the sometimes least fun parts of being an occupational therapist. I hope this is helpful for students considering the profession or other health careers, as well as for fellow clinicians to know you're not alone :)
I'm Thalia and I am currently a Paediatric Occupational Therapist in Australia.

This is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video :)

you sound so caring. You have a wonderful bedside manner never lose it.

[@brigittealexander1967]

this is good to know. As a nurse I did not know a great lot about occupational therapy. Not great. Started the course was not suited to it. But I am going to be a speech pathologist. I did however have one really brilliant lecturer. Her name is KP. She is fantastic. Three of us nurses loved her and wanted to be like her. My friend joked that I latched on to her because she was caring like a nurse. She is every nurses dream OT to work for and with. Can you do a video shadowing a nurse that would be brilliant. That way you can see why nurses get so protective of their patients.

As an OT student these videos are so lovely to watch!!

[@brigittealexander1967]

interesting some members of the health care team underestimate how broad and complex speech pathology is. So I can relate to that.

Hello friends. hope you well. I wonder if you will share OT model to practice later? Like OPMA model to apply😊

Thanks for this video, it’s so helpful to hear from Aussie OTs! What would you say is the ratio of non-paper work to paper work on a typical day? Thank you so much, I’m looking to become an OT but there’s not a lot of this kind of info out there :)

[@EndlessEducationOT]

Really can depend on the speciality and setting you go into! For me in my private practice (community) paediatrics I need to do session notes for each of my sessions, emails to schools/other therapists, at least yearly progress reports and sometimes home programs and letters of support for other items. I'd say roughly 30% is admin time and then block out extra time as needed to catch up on bigger reports. In my other role there's much more case coordination including paper work and meetings needed for each client. Thanks for your support and all the best for the future 😊

Hi i was just wondering if you're an OTA or an actual OT (competed masters)?

[@EndlessEducationOT]

I'm an occupational therapist in Australia. We can have a bachelor or a masters degree to be qualified.
