In this episode, we kick off our back-to-school series by talking with Kim Meaney, a seasoned Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) and current master's student in occupational therapy. Kim shares her unique journey from being a COTA to returning to school for her Master's degree in OT. She provides valuable insights into balancing work, family, and education, and reflects on her summer fieldwork experience at a OT clinic incorporating hippotherapy. We discuss the challenges and rewards of working in a non-traditional fieldwork setting, the importance of asking questions, and the benefits of immersing oneself in new experiences. Kim’s advice is a must-listen for any OT student preparing for their fieldwork placements.
