Episode 14 Part 1: Exploring OT Professional Identities

For episode 14 of OT Conversations that Matter: The Podcast, our host Justine Jecker is joined by Yasmine Frikha, a Canadian OT originally from France who is currently doing her PhD work on the topic of professional identity at the University of Laval in Québec. Yasmine was motivated to dive deeper into the concept of professional identity when she recognized, through her clinical experience in Quebec, that it was a common practice issue. During this episode, Yasmine and Justine explore the many reasons that lead clinicians within our profession to question their professional identity and what could help day-to-day practicing OTs work through some of the struggles they experience.
