    I want to got to OT school because I've seen how impactful my emotional intelligence and extreme patience can be in the medical field. I think it would be a great career for me, but I'm so scared that I won't get in given that this field is so competitive

    I am currently re-thinking my life as I just lost my job (which I loved) due to COVID-19. In these uncertain times, I am thinking about switching careers. Finding your channel has been such an inspiration, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting and being so real with your audience. I feel like this could be what I was put on the planet to do, and seeing your videos gave me the push to go for it. :) (by the way, where did you do your undergrad and masters degrees?)

    I just wanted to thank you for all your wonderful and informative videos. You have been such an inspiration to me and I have learned so much. You inspired me to pursue OT as my new career; switching from Spanish medical interpreter. I am happy to say I was just accepted into OT school and am starting this Fall. Thank you again for all you do and keep on keeping it real! 💜💪✌🤝

    Part of me is regretting my Decision of becoming a Cota. I graduated moved and got my first Job at a hand therapy clinic. They said they would train me and shortly after hired a new OT and fired me for "Not knowing enough" . My confidence is shaken. Im not sure if it was my schooling or what I just feel like i cant do this. "Vent over"

    I've been an OT for over 20 years. Patients may be our customers, but corporate America doesn't care about our customers. Patient care isn't a priority in any setting. They care about billing and money. If you're in OT school you may want to rethink your career. You don't control what you do at work. The company controls what you do. All they care about is productivity. The majority of any working day is paperwork. I would never recommend the time or money it takes to become an OT.

    Hi. I would love to become a COTA in order to help others like myself as I underwent brain surgery to remove a benign meningioma and had a stroke during the surgery. I couldn't use the left side of my body and came out of the hospital in a wheelchair and an arm sling. I didn't have an OT or a PT due to personal reasons. I brought myself up the best I could. My left side isn't 100% but am now able to work construction with my Stepdad and would love to use my endeavors to inspire others and help people the way I wasn't. I know I will be a great asset to the OT field and especially the patients. My question is, would I be rejected as a COTA due to my disability?

    • @Cookiechip3
      @Cookiechip3 Рік тому

      No it is not. There are a lot of parallels, but OT's also work with mental illnesses while pjysiotherapy has it's focus on physical illness.
      I worked in a psychiatry, I worked with children, dementia patients, neurology patients, orthopedical patients and people with disabilitys. I think Occupational therapy has a bigger range while physiotherapy is more focussed.
