Article: Sachs, D., & Labovitz, D. R. (1994). The caring occupational therapist: Scope of professional roles and boundaries. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 48(11), 997-1005.

The article cited above discusses two dimensions of OT within the context of professionalism.

Article: Scheerer, C. R. (2003). Perceptions of effective professional behavior feedback: Occupational therapy student voices. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 57(2), 205-214.

I found this article that gives students opinions of varying professional behaviors and the effectiveness of those behaviors. I feel as though I can really relate to the articles that feature students in them.

Article: Lyons, M. (1997). Understanding professional behavior: experiences of occupational therapy students in mental health settings. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 51(8), 686-692.

The article I cited above discusses how OT students who were placed in a mental health setting view professionalism and professional behaviors that are appropriate for that type of setting.

The link I posted above was very relatable for me! It was a pilot study done that looked at how first year and second year OT students viewed professionalism. Different categories emerged for the two different groups and I feel as though I fit it now better with the second year students in the study.

I found the study that I posted above very interesting, because it broke down professionalism into many varying categories (i.e. gift giving, uniform, written communication, etc.) and it carried all of these across the entire healthcare system.

I found this blog to be very interesting, because I have a big gut feeling that as time goes on in our careers, we will come across some unethical patients.

The link I posted above is a journal article that reviews ethical dilemmas OTs and PTs face through the use of surveys. This article was based in the UK, but I felt it is more than likely relatable to us when we become practitioners.

Article: Hasselkus, B. R. (1991). Ethical dilemmas in family caregiving for the elderly: Implications for occupational therapy. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 45(3), 206-212.

The article I listed above has a total of 60 ethnographic interviews that touch on the various ethical dilemmas they face while caring for a family member.

The link I posted above is a PDF created by the Australian Association of Occupational Therapists. It discusses different areas that may involve ethics while we are out practicing.

The link that I posted above is a PDF that discusses the history of ethics within OT and what ethics are like today in our profession.

This link discusses the obvious and not-so-obvious ethical dilemmas that we may face while we are practicing as OT's.

I found this link super helpful, because an OT wrote the article and gave real-life examples of unethical issues and described how easily those types of situations can happen.

The link I listed above gives instructions for us, as OT's, on how to properly report an ethical issue, since we are mandated reporters.

The link I listed above is the board for Ohio's OT, PT, and AT professionals. It breaks down each discipline's ethics under Ohio's revised code.

This link I posted above lists all of the AOTA ethics and gives case examples to help you apply the code of ethics properly within the realm of OT.

A MOT student created this PDF that I found very helpful. Within this PDF, the MOT student described what our level II CI's are expecting us to know in terms of clinical reasoning, but this student lays out what we really know as students, in terms of clinical reasoning.

This video describes the differences between clinical and professional reasoning within the field of OT.

I found this link that I thought was very helpful to define the varying types of clinical reasoning that we may come across as OTs.

Article: Mattingly, C. (1991). What is clinical reasoning?. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 45(11), 979-986.

A lot of our professors have told us that as our career unfolds clinical reasoning will begin to develop alongside of our career. Sometimes I feel confident about clinical reasoning and other times I really struggle; so, I found the article I posted above to be super helpful and somewhat reassure me that I do know more about clinical reasoning than I think I do.

Article: Neistadt, M. E., Wight, J., & Mulligan, S. E. (1998). Clinical reasoning case studies as teaching tools. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 52(2), 125-132.

I found this scholarly peer reviewed journal that gives the following types of case studies to help us practice our clinical reasoning skills: paper cases, videotape cases, simulated client cases, and real client cases. Within this study, undergraduate students majoring in OT were the ones getting to practice their skills, but I found this very applicable to us as well as MOT students.
