This is adorable... had to include this on my blog so anyone who thinks OT is a cross between physical therapy and psychology can REALLY see what we do!

APA and Literature Reviews...

If you are in need of some quick overviews of APA Style and Rules their website was extremely helpful and has a few tutorials. Check it out here: APA Basic Tutorial

This week I am in the middle of writing my first literature review. This has been a challenging project.

My topic is on kindergarten readiness in children who are from low income families. This topic has been really interesting to read about.

Studying abroad - Sweden!

May 23rd (the day before my birthday) my classmates and I are flying to Stockholm, Sweden. We will be there for 11 days studying the health care system in Sweden. We will meet with the Occupational therapy program at Sahlgrenska Institute in Gothenburg. We will get to meet the students and faculty, visit the clinics, community health programs, rehabilitation and activity centers. Also we will hear lectures on the Swedish health care system, the role of health professionals in promoting healthy aging, and other topics that will be decided later. I am very excited to be going and will post photos and journals from the trip when it happens. 


After the trip I will be traveling to Amsterdam and then Belgium. If anyone has ideas on what to do where to go around those areas let me know! 

Welcome to OT Student Life!

There is so much happening- so fast! I want to remember what I am learning and be able to share my experience with people who are interested. I started my Masters of Occupational Therapy program Fall 2011. I will write about things I learn and about fieldwork experiences, travel, and classes.
