Working in a healthcare facility as an Occupational Therapy practitioner one meets a variety of personalities. One may see the person that walks with coffee in hand, another who keeps to themselves when working with a client, or the social butterfly. And there may be the occasional person who becomes frustrated easily toward others! Whatever the case, everyone has the same end game; helping a client reach their goals.
Take a step back and look at how you perform best as an OT practitioner. Do you prefer a clean desk? Do you need an organized clipboard to reference manual muscle tests and nerve innervations? Do you eyeball or measure range of motion?
