What this episode covers
Occupational therapy is such a diverse field and one of my favorite parts of doing interviews is learning about all the different practice areas within our profession. Today’s episode with Alexis Joelle, MS, OTR/L dives into occupational therapy in acute care, detailing what it looks like, as well as highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with this practice area. We cover the hot topic of occupation-based practice and how Alexis maintains the use of occupations despite being in a clinical setting.

Alexis is all about instilling confidence for all clinicians and promoting the distinct value of occupational therapy.
