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.

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."

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.

This article discusses the paradigm shift in health care towards evidence based and client centered practice to increase patient outcomes by linking payment to performance. In this type of system it is important to define OTs distinct value so that it does not get pushed out. There needs to be an increase in evidence that shows the efficacy of OT interventions. Overall, there needs to be the development of quality measures so that OTs can evaluate and document their contributions to patient outcomes.

This article discusses professionalism, and is a speech delivered diruing the 2010 Frances Rutherford Lecture in New Zealand. We as OT practitioners have the responsibility to promote and embrace the principles of our practice. We are responsible for how the public views our profession. Our actions should take root in the principle that taking part in occupations benefits the health and well-being of our patients. The author states that our professional responsibility is to always question and examine our role in healthcare, so that we can grow and practice in the most meaningful way.

This blog is something that all clinicians and students need to read, think about, and discuss with others. The author discusses how she was taught a series of problem solving steps during her education and how they have caused her to become like many other therapists by jumping to solutions before knowing the real problem. Therefore, the therapists discusses all the things she has learned on her own through her various classes that she examines when screening/assessing a patient in order to determine the appropriate problem in order to generate an effective solution.

This posting describes an occupational therapists evolution of clinical reasoning skills as she developed as a practitioner. As an entry-level practitioner she followed the "problem solving process" she was taught in school. This process includes identifying the problems, identifying potential solutions, choosing one identified solution, implementing the solution, reviewing the satisfactoriness of the solution, and if unsatisfied completing the process over and over until a satisfactory solution is met. However, she explains that she quickly realized that too often we as occupational therapy practitioners jump in with various solutions before truly identifying the root of the problem. The author highlights numerous assumptions that can be made as to why we want to jump the gun, so to speak. Some of the top reasons mentioned include the patient lacks insight as to the root of the problem and may identify contributory problems and not the true source, there is no specific step to properly examine the source of the problem, and lastly we often view an individual's needs in terms of deficits rather than examining interactions between the individual concerning values and daily choices and their impact on the environment. The author concludes by providing guidance to upcoming practitioners so that they may not make the same mistakes she previously did. She explains that during the evaluation process she is looking not only at the client and what they define as problems, but also looking at strengths, possible explanations, and areas that can be explored in more detail in order to develop a stronger hypothesis as to the root of the problem. Otherwise she risks applying a solution that doesn't solve the problem, creates other problems, and/or prevents uncovering of deeper areas of concern that are impacting the individual's life.

This article discusses the importance of clinical reasoning in a time when evidence-based practice is becoming more prevalent. It is stressed that clinical reasoning is so important because randomized clinical trials can still be incomplete and hard to generalize. Clinical reasoning is vital to incorporate with randomized clinical trials to meet the responsibilities that the patients have entrusted in their health care professionals.
