So it has been a while since I posted just to update everyone on what's going on down here in sunny (HOT) Florida with me! We have just started our 3rd full week of school but luckily I'm not too stressed out yet. Although we do have our first pathology test tomorrow so I probably should be more frantic than I am. :/ This semester my classes are split between being half general ed type classes with everyone that started with me in January, and half strictly OT classes, which is a much smaller group. However, that means that my course load this semester as far as studying and tests go is significantly less than last term which is a wonderful and certainly welcome break! On the flip side, there is a lot more in the way of weekly assignments, reports, projects, and papers that come along with the OT curriculum. I am happy to be on the OT track though and I still have one day of shadowing a week, similar to last term, that my PT friends aren't getting this term. Our shadowing is actually split up into 3 sessions over the course of the semester and you go out 2 out of those 3 sessions. You spend one day a week for 4 weeks at the same site so you get to see a little more in depth patient treatment from last semester and you also get to see patient progression which is really cool. My first session is being spent with a private practice hand therapist in Jacksonville. I went for the first time last Friday and had a great experience. Its amazing how much we overlook the importance of our hands until they are injured! Also, she is associated with a hand surgeon in the same building so I will get to see lots of post-op treatment which I find really interesting! Ok, off to study now, wah wah... Hope everyone is looking forward to a great week!
PS-- Yes we did spend a 4th day at Disney for those who are curious, however I didn't take any pictures :(
