Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy?

We Answered:

This would partially depend on the setting.
A physical therapist focuses on balance, ambulation, and the lower extremity.
An occupational Therapist focuses on ADL's (dressing, toileting, bathing, feeding, etc), IADL's (driving, cooking, home management, etc), fine motor coord, upper body strength and safety in the home.
Depending on the setting and employees available, there is some overlap, in outpatient the PT could also be addressing upper body injuries. A PT or an OT can be a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT). In Home Health the OT could also be addressing functional mobility and the use of a walker, etc...

To be a PT you now need a doctorate degree and to be an OT you need a masters degree. PT's make a little bit more than OT's but again this differs between settings.

Advice on occupational therapy?

We Answered:

An occupational therapist (OT) is a therapist who is trained in the practice of occupational therapy. The role of an occupational therapist is to work with a client to help them achieve a fulfilled and satisfied state in life through the use of "purposeful activity or interventions designed to achieve functional outcomes which promote health, prevent injury or disability and which develop, improve, sustain or restore the highest possible level of independence.

Some occupational therapists treat individuals whose ability to function in a work environment has been impaired. These practitioners arrange employment, evaluate the work environment, plan work activities, and assess the client’s progress. Therapists also may collaborate with the client and the employer to modify the work environment so that the work can be successfully completed.

Is Occupational Therapy a good pre-medical course for Neurology?

We Answered:

It really won't matter what your undergrad major is when applying for Neurology residencies after Med School. The activities you do, and the grades you get in "rounds" your 3rd and 4th year of med school are really all that will go into your "Match." When it comes down to it, Neurology is not the hardest of residencies to get into. If you can keep a high GPA in the Occupational Therapy major, then do it, but it really doesn't matter at all what your undergrad major is, if you complete the "pre med" checklist. (which are core sciences) My fiancee is in an EM Residency right now (one of the most difficult residencies to get into today), and her undergraduate major was Communications. A high undergraduate GPA, and interesting activities (clubs, sports, music, volunteering) are much more important for entrance into Med School.
