Hello Vicki: I am not sure how long you've been a member of this list. Just for your information, I started this list, albeit with a different name, in 1998. This was two years before I began teaching. Back then, the discussions and conversations where much the same as they are today. My impetus for starting the original discussion forum was because of my experiences in the 'real world'. The 'conflict' that you mention did not start at the academic level, it started at the treatment level. My intention is not about justifying my job (in fact this list has NOTHING to do with my job) but it is my attempt to help ensure that there are jobs for graduates of OT schools around the country.
