Occupational Therapy Internship

Victoria Said:

Sales vs. admin.?

We Answered:

I disagree with the person saying take the money. If your heart isn't in sales, you won't do well and you won't last. Take the admin job and save everyone the hassle of firing you later.

Lewis Said:

What would be a good honors project for an OT major to do in anatomy and physiology class?

We Answered:

I suggest contacting some hand therapy clinics in your area and ask if they would be interested in you creating some patient handouts for them. Some clinics use the Visual Health Information Exercise Software (VHI Kits) to create home exercise programs for their patients. The VHI Kits are helpful but most therapists I know like to use pictures and/or illustrations to create additional exercise protocols that the kits do not include.

The therapist may want you to come observe him/her working and possibly take pictures while they are working with patients. Patient handouts don't usually contain too much technical information, so you could probably create the handouts with only a little guidance from the therapist.

Hand therapy requires pretty extensive knowledge and understanding of the anatomy of the upper extremity, so that is why my mind immediately went to the realm of hand therapy even though I do not practice in that area of OT right now.

I don't know if this is the type of project you are looking for, but I hope it at least provides you with some ideas!
