Practice Manager

​Evidence

In my level two fieldwork placement I had to manage and plan the daily schedule for my preceptor and I, to do this I needed to understand the goals and current therapeutic outcomes for each client case so that I could prioritize the cases according to the hospital-wide prioritization tool. In addition, I communicated individualized client intervention plans to therapy aids so that they could carry out the assigned work activity prior to the re-assessment date.

 

Throughout my graduate degree I have been involved in extracurricular activities such as SGPS representative for rehabilitation student council, intramurals, and co-chair of the Health and Human Rights Conference. I needed to prioritize and organize my time efficiently so that I could be an effective team player, contribute to group discussions, and manage my school work. In September 2015, I was awarded the Cora E. Hewitt Scholarship as recognition of academic excellence.

 

Future Learning

Within five years of graduating, I hope to supervise at least one occupational therapy student to support fieldwork education and give back to the profession.

 

  • Occupational therapists must be proficient in the practice manager competency because they need to manage their time, prioritize tasks and cases, and support effective and efficient practice.
