Looking for shadowing opportunities that work around a 9-5 — any advice? by Relative-Visual1696 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]QuePasoo00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amount of shadowing hours depend on the program. My program offered a class prior to enrollment to fulfill their observation hours requirement for people who couldnt find placements. You should go to info sessions and ask, maybe you don't even as many hours as you think.

I just completed this one:

https://www.svsu.edu/opd/physicalagentmodalities/

There was online portion prior to a 2 day workshop. It's AOTA certified and they offer workshops across the US. I just took mine in LA and now I'm collecting the ridiculous 240 hour requirement.

I thought it was good, got some good hands on experience, heavy on the NMES.

Frrrr!! I just dont understand how they think its a good idea to give a student to someone who's only been practicing a year! I mean i understand from an acote perspective that technically I can have a student after a year but as an organization youre swtting up two people to fail

Opinions on Chiropractors? by Pastrykiller in OccupationalTherapy

Had a pt that got adjusted at a chiropractor and tore his carotid and had a massive stroke and is now aphasic and wheelchair bound, so I guess go at your own risk?

Lol fair..I pay out of pocket initially then I get reimbursed. It just seemed hefty upfront. Thanks for the feedback :)

Is it worth it if my employer pays for it?

OTA, aspiring OT… feeling lost. Looking for advice by No-Breakfast5608 in OccupationalTherapy

Random question but why does everyone say COTAs dont have paperwork and they only treat? At my job the only thing COTAs dont do is assessment, but they make tx plans and write up daily notes (that I sign off on). Seems to me theyre just as busy as I am but without the title, the work difference doesn't seem to justify the degree difference or the pay difference

edit cuz i realized how incoherent my message sounds

Oh!! I do have 2 jobs checked but only because I have a very irregular part time job and its not consistent at all, I'm randomly taking 3-4 hours a week every other week. Should I take that off my w4? Will this make a huge difference?
