Funny you say that. After a 7 year hiatus, this fall I'm teaching "Intro
to OT" to OTA students.
I'm already lining up patients to come in and talk about their
experiences with disability and characteristics that make a good
therapist.
Today, I asked a patient the following question:
Would you rather have a highly knowledgeable therapist with
average communication skills or an average knowledge therapist
with high communication skills.
This patient felt that high communications skills (i.e. listening) are
more important than high knowledge.
I think this kind of information is INVALUABLE to developing
students....
Thanks for asking about teaching. It truly is a passion of mine!
Ron
