Working in occupational therapy, you likely find that even the most motivated patients can lose some of their enthusiasm over time when complications arise or their recovery takes longer than they expected. As their therapist, you can play a critical role in not just their physical progress, but their emotional and mental commitment to continuing to work toward their goal. By finding strategies to encourage patients to keep going when they want to quit, you’ll see better results and likely form a trusting relationship in the process.
Ready to take your career on the road? As a licensed therapist, you’ve worked hard to pursue a rewarding career. But have you ever wished that you had more opportunities to travel? Or perhaps wanted to escape to a warm climate during the colder months of the year? Your career and your sense of adventure don’t have to be separate areas of your life. Whether you’re just beginning your career or are looking for a change after years onthe job, consider indulging your sense of adventure while building your resume by working as a travel therapist.
