    Morgan, I thought you did a fantastic job explaining long term acute care compared to other facilities! Your explanation really helped me understand further how to distinguish LTAC from other levels of care. I'm glad you gained more skills in working with patients that were less medically stable. That is something I wanted to learn more about too when I chose acute care for this rotation.

    I can really relate to loving pediatrics but also realizing how much you enjoy working with older adults. That is something I discovered last rotation that was further solidified this rotation. It's really fun to get exposed to so many settings and be surprised about what areas you realize you enjoy working in.

    Thanks for sharing Morgan! I enjoyed hearing about your experience and look forward to hearing more when we return to school.

    Morgan,
    Your explanation of differentiating between the levels of adult care is perfect and so helpful! Oddly enough, my fieldwork facility was classified as a SNF/LTAC/Sub-acute/Rehab facility so I was able to see the more medically complex cases as well as general rehab which was nice to be able to see a broad population.
    I applaud your willingness to admit that you need to work more on interventions and stepping outside of the box to think about making them client centered and tailored to the client! It sounds like you learned a lot on this rotation and I'm glad you enjoy working with the adult population! I think it's great to be well rounded in this field and it sounds like you are just that!
    I'm glad I got to hear a little bit about your rotation and & I hope you have a wonderful summer break!

Glyphs & Leadership

Image
Glyph: a character, symbol, or picture with an agreed upon meaning to create a message or story. Now, the above definition is not a professional one from Google, however, it is the best way to describe the glyphs we have created during our OT coursework. During our first year of OT   school, my classmates and I completed individual glyphs based upon our meaning of what we thought leadership meant.  The symbols came together to form a picture of a person.   For example, if you see yourself as a leader, you should draw on your character an accessory. Over a year later we took those same descriptions and made a second picture. It is crazy how much your ideations can change over the course of a single year.  Here are each of my glyphs, side by side; the left one from February 2018 and the right picture from July 2019. As you can see, my thoughts on what leadership is have changed in some ways, whereas in other concepts, they stayed the same.  OT school has shap...

ideas about OT

Before beginning OT school... Before starting any school, most people have initial ideas about what it is going to be like, what they're going to learn, even things they're going to encounter. In almost every scenario, people's thoughts and perspectives change almost immediately after starting whatever program they have entered into. For me, coming into OT school, I didn't know what to expect. I had certain thoughts about the career and reasons why I felt I belonged on this path, but as for what I would learn and change about myself and my ideas -- I had no idea what was coming. In just the first five weeks I have learned the following about myself: - Anatomy...WOW. Our bodies do amazing things and it ceases to amaze me. - Living in a new place and finding your way around is never easy. - Learning names of your classmates and professors is daunting. - Grad school is much different than undergrad. But as for OT, this career I was so sure I knew everything abo...
