Hi all, In response to the question of my area of practice, well, I'm a first year OT Master's student (I survived my first month!) in Alberta. The discussion regarding Best Practice is really interesting to me. Right now, we have a class dedicated to studying occupation itself; that is, with no regard to pathology or disability. We are just focused on answering the basic questions "what is occupation and what do occupations mean to individuals and societies?". So really, I feel that as of now, the way Ron is discussing the role of OT is what is being enforced to us, in that occupations is what sets OT apart from the rest of health care and is the place we can really make our mark. I start my first placement on Tuesday, and am anxious to see how it works in the "real world". Thanks, Cheryl
