Michele Said:

why you choose occupational therapy as a course?

We Answered:

Hi!

I'm an occupational therapist, and I chose this career because I'm interested in both physical and mental health, I like variety, and I enjoy being creative.

I put together a 30 minute video for a career fair, describing why to choose occupational therapy - it is on my website (below) if you're interested. It describes the job duties, education requirements, and what me and a colleague like most and least about our jobs. There are also some case examples of what it is like working with a variety of patients (not real patients - actors of course).

The main reason to choose occupational therapy is if it is a career that fits with your values - a client-centered philosophy, recognizing the value in occupations and things people do day-to-day, a love of creativity and variety, and a passion for working with people.
