    This article focusing on techniques that can be used to develop clinical reasoning for Occupational Therapy students and new practitioners, in which it argues is the basis of all occupational therapy treatment. The article presents that using case studies within the classroom setting provides the ability for students to clinically reason, problem solve and develop treatment skills in a controlled way. It suggests using guiding questions based on student weakness that will promote growth and creativity in developing clinical reasoning skills. This article must have some merit because case studies have been used and continue to be used in a variety of classroom settings to this day including our own.

    This article discusses a new method for evaluating students' competencies and performances during clinic experiences. Due to the increasing demand for higher education and increasing clinical experiences for medical professions, more and more student are required to participate in on-site learning experiences in order to obtain their degree. Unfortunately, there is a lack of literature to support assessments to accurately determine occupational therapy students' level of learning and progress during on-site teaching scenarios. The author of this article discusses an in-depth analysis of a new assessment developed for occupational therapy on-site clinical experiences. The assessment includes a five-point scale with 42 items in six domains. These domains include communication, documentation, safety and judgment, evaluation, intervention and professional behaviors. The five points range from dependent to self-directed. Professional literature and reasoning for domain and scale development are included in the article. The author concludes by stating that further research development and psychometric development needs to be completed in order to effectively incorporate the assessment into current clinical sites. The authors encourage occupational therapy programs to use the assessment and collaborate with the authors to further contribute to these areas of development.

    This study was done in 2004 and looks at the development of clinical reasoning skills of undergrad OT students. The student participants took part in a 5-week intensive problem-based learning course before going into fieldwork. (This study was completed when a bachelors degree was required for an OT degree) The results concluded that the intensive problem-based learning course in the OT curriculum can promote development of students clinical reasoning skills.

Developing Competency in Professionalism - 0 views

    This PDF document defines professionalism competency as an individual's ability to align both personal and organizational conduct with ethical and professional standards in order to assume responsibility to the patient and community through providing professional level services. This column, developed by the Healthcare Leadership Alliance, outlines four key areas in order to develop competency in professionalism. The first step in achieving competency includes understanding professional roles and norms. This includes understanding both the formal and informal expectations of conduct within the field. For occupational therapists, this would include interacting with other occupational therapy practitioners as well as being actively involved in state and national occupational therapy organizations, such as AOTA and staying up to date with research and trends within the field. Secondly, an individual must be able to establish and maintain working relationships with others. Thirdly, in order to demonstrate professionalism competency an individual must be able to manage time, energy, stress, uphold ethical/professional standards, and develop a sense of personal responsibility and accountability for their work. Lastly, an individual must be able to give back to others and contribute to others growth, whether through mentorships or simply coaching others to reach their potential. Becoming competent in professionalism can be time consuming and require a great deal of dedication; however, as healthcare professionals we should always strive to achieve professionalism.

    This looks at how a student's social and emotional development may affect their academic development. My school currently has some kids on the caseload for social and emotional development reasons only. Is this an area school-based OTs should focus on?

    This article focused on the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul behind you and your profession in order to present professionalism within the occupational therapy field. The heart of professionalism in occupational therapy, focuses on doing Good Work and/or ensuring that what we are doing is right for us as well as improving another's life. The mind of professionalism in occupational therapy, this idea is centered around working to broaden the scope of knowledge within occupational therapy as well as providing EVP to your clients because they deserve more than the routine BUE exercises. Lastly, the soul of professionalism within occupational therapy, this involves collaborating with other individuals within the profession, critically evaluating, and brainstorming to ensure that the highest standard of practice is being used within the clinics. These three components are interwoven. Therefore, if one piece, the heart, mind, or soul is missing then the level of professionalism you portray decreases.

    The Heart, Mind, and Soul of Professionalism in Occupational Therapy. This is an AJOT article that discusses the topic of professionalism and how it applies to occupational therapy practice. The article discusses the "heart of professionalism" and how presenting oneself in a professional manner is crucial in today's healthcare market as an occupational therapy practitioner.

    This article explores the question of how as OT's we stay convinced that our work is, and can always be, right for ourselves just as it is good for the world. The author proposes the answer lies in how we understand and enact professionalism

    This is a really neat article. It personifies professionalism and puts a whole new meaning to it. It emphasizes the importance of it for our field and how it has evolved over the years. I like how it talks about professionalism can bring occupational therapists together and "nourish our convictions in the rightness of our work for ourselves and its goodness for the world." This article is written more like a novel and I think many people would enjoy the read!!

    This article provides an interesting perspective concerning professionalism in occupational therapy. In this article the author examines the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul as your driving force in order to demonstrate professionalism. The heart of professionalism involves a belief that what you do to better people's lives and society is so special that no amount of money could measure how important it is to you. The mind of professionalism involves the application of knowledge and expertise that enables a therapist to be empowered and inspired to utilize evidence within their everyday practice to better meet their patients' needs. Lastly, the soul of professionalism includes the special bond therapists have with one another and with their patients, focused on collaboration and creativity, in order to provide the highest quality of care to their patients.

    This article in The American Journal of Occupational Therapy sets out to describe professionalism and how it relates to the occupational therapy field and career. The author, Wendy Wood (2004), describes professionalism as an "ideal that encompasses widely held expectations of, and objective standards for evaluating, any field that calls itself a profession." She emphasizes how personal professionalism is and relates it to the heart, mind, and soul to illustrate its most crucial elements. She describes the history of the profession and how it along with professionalism has developed as the field has grown. Wood goes on to state that any field, occupational therapy included, which claims professional stature must be equally dedicated to developing it's "mind" and "heart." This just means that the body of knowledge must also continue to grow and develop as the profession grows. We must also grow as professionals who are interacting with one another. Wood (2004) states the importance of interacting with others in ways that are "honest, critically evaluative, and dedicated toward realizing a greater good."

    This article provides a guideline on how occupational therapists can understand and carryout professional behavior. The author breaks down professionalism in terms of "the vital elements" the heart, mind, and soul and how to apply these aspects in a professional manner. The author highlights the fact that professionalism is a process and grows over time.

    As we engage our hearts to do Good Work, strive to nourish our minds, and to cultivate the authenticity of our souls we can help make the field of occupational therapy stand out and be a pillar of professionalism. Wendy Wood's article is inspiring and is a good read to give you a little boost.

    The author's purpose of this article was to promote professionalism as heart, mind, and soul at all level so that all we do in the name of occupational therapy not only remains right for ourselves and good for the world, but also grows more so over time. He described professionalism as especially important for the well-being of individuals or of society at large, having a value so special that money cannot serve as its sole measure: it is also simply good work. The author was captured by the magic of occupational therapy as a counselor at a summer camp for autistic children, which was a truly inspiring story about how he fell in love with the profession. He emphasized how personal professionalism is; so personal, in fact, that he uses the metaphors of heart, mind, and soul to depict its most vital elements. Any field claiming professional stature must be just as dedicated to cultivating its mind as it is to nourishing its heart, as the two are wonderfully symbiotic. I loved this article, and it truly depicted the meaning of and what it means to be an occupational therapist at a personal level.
