http://occupational-therapy.advanceweb.com/Student-and-New-Grad-Center/Student-Top-Story/5-Steps-to-Achieve-Professionalism.aspx This article, located on Advance for Occupational Therapy Practitioners website, outlines five steps to professionalism in the workplace. First is dressing appropriately, second is using appropriate grammar, third is accepting challenges and approaching them head on, third is showing respect for others, and lastly is accepting accountability for mishaps and mistakes. I think all of these are applicable not only in the field of occupational therapy but across all fields. These are definitely qualities to have in order to represent the profession of occupational therapy once we enter the work force.
