Today when we went to the Brigham and Women’s hospital, where we met with Janice the Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist and her assistant Jenna. We learned what it takes to become a PT/OT and speech therapist. We learned that the main courses to become a therapist are chemistry, A&P1, psychology, and many other sciences. Jenna talked to us about her experience as a student, and as a junior how her internship with Janice has benefited her. Janice showed us the instruments she uses regularly with her patients and how they work, including the Dynamiter and the giniometer which measure strength and mobility of your joints.

I loved hearing from the co-op student about the education required for this field. I learned that there are many components to PT/OT that i would not have otherwise thought about!

When we were talking about PT and OT i never knew the differance between the two. Not only did i find out the difference but ever since ive herd about those fields i started looking into those fields.
