    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."

    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.

    This article is titled Special Issue on Productive Aging: Evidence and Opportunities for Occupational Therapy Practitioners. Many of us are currently in the long-term care setting and gaining experience with facilitating productive aging. I feel that this article should provide some insight as to how we, as future occupational therapists, can facilitate productive aging to the greatest degree.

Occupational Therapy cognitive assessments

    In every scientific profession, practice is constantly evolving in response to new knowledge. However, new knowledge presents challenges for all practitioners, not only in terms of how to stay up-to-date but also in terms of how to deliver the best quality practice. Another issue with the use of brief cognitive assessments is the use of specialized assessments based on the diagnosis typically presents. All presentations are different and therefore this reduces the effectiveness of a screen and attempts to act as a tool to diagnose. There is call in Australia for brief cognitive assessment with supported validity, reliability, sensitivity and specificity to better screen and address deficits. This same call has been made by AOTA.

    The scope of this handout created by North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is a guide for school based therapist when determining if a child is in need of services in the school. This document states that if the child cannot have access to their education or will not experience educational benefit then occupational therapy services are relevant and could be necessary in order to enhance the child's educational success. Alternatively, this handout also addresses when occupational therapy services are not warranted. Some indicators to know when services are not needed include 1) the needs can be addressed by a special educator or school faculty 2) can needs be addressed during non school hours and/or 3) will providing services lead to an unnecessary gaps or contraindications with other necessary services. These simple guidelines can help the therapist to clinically reason if the student requires services and why or why not. Another great piece of this handout is discussing when occupational therapy services can be discontinued. This section helps the therapist walk through the necessary step in order to accurately determine if services are still needed.

    This article discusses professionalism in OT practice and what it means. Professionalism was broken down into three parts: the heart, mind, and soul. The main point the author stressed is that professionalism is personal and is the responsibility of each individual. The heart was described as the pleasure and pride taken in our work as OTs. The mind is the specialized body of knowledge that makes OT unique. The soul is the authentic and genuine connections with both patients and colleagues. Each of these can be disrupted but it is the individual's responsibility to try and create a solution to further promote the professionalism of OT.

    This web resource is presented by a registered nurse but provides a broad overview of professionalism within the healthcare arena. The author of this presentation first defines professional as someone who has specialized knowledge within a particular field and who oftentimes has completed an intensive period of academic coursework in order to begin working. A professional is also someone who upholds the ethical standards of their profession. The author then goes on to explain the various facets of professionalism. According to her, demonstrating professionalism includes being a team player, having an awareness of how your mannerisms, words, and actions can affect others, being fully accountable for your actions, using kindness, compassion, knowledge, and direct communication to lead others, as well as learning to master a mindful, calm response to an emergency. Throughout the presentation, the author highlights that although your job may not be easy and at times can be stressful and seem impossible, that is no excuse to be unprofessional. This is something important for us to keep in mind as we begin our career as occupational therapists.
