Hi there! I’m Meredith Castin, and I’m a PT. I run a website called The Non-Clinical PT, but despite not actively treating patients these days, I am still very interested in the latest research supporting the use of rehab. I’m so happy to be part of this community!

Greetings All
I have been following OTP with Sarah for a while… I am a “old” OT who is the AFWC for very “new” OTA’s so I am always look for things to add to my Tool Box and research is certainly one of the essentials!

I’m so glad you started this as a resource. I work in home health in San Francisco, and love the setting and independence, but often wish I had more connection with other OTs. This is the perfect combination for me to connect, review literature with colleagues and exchange ideas. Thank you!

Hi, @kasa! We are so glad to have you! I worked by myself for awhile in rural hospital in NE, which is where this idea was first born! I hope you find it helpful!

Yes Sarah - I would love to see info on Sensory Processing evidence, dyslexia, and autism. So far I am leaning towards unsubscribing because not relevant topics to me.
Thank you,
Tee

Hi @tee, it is really helpful to hear your thoughts. My plan is to release pediatric content 1x/month. (It is coming in at the end of the month this April - an article on autism and an example pediatric note). I understand, though, as we work to build up a library of content if that does not feel sufficient for your investment. Please feel free to message me at anytime if you would like a refund. You can use the chatbox in the bottom right or email me at sarah@otpotential.com. I am so thankful to the people that took a chance on a new service and want you to be able to get your money back if you are unsatisfied!

Thank you for providing OT Clinicians with a database of EBP/Research. Moving forward, the knowledge will reinforce the potential and value of Occupational Therapy in the Healthcare Field.
I would welcome more research on OT& Dementia, as my practice focus has been Eldercare. TY

Hi Sarah,
I am so glad you started this club and I am excited to be a part of it. I have been a clinician for over 30 years, just got my OTD and have moved into academia. My area of expertise is Neuro and NICU. I was glad to hear the podcast on stroke and cognition in ICU. Look forward to more. I think it is a great resource for students and new grads as well, will be sure to spread the word to other faculty and my students. Thanks.

Welcome @sanchala! I can’t believe the timing! I am literally writing a review of an article on congenital CMV and was wondering if we had an NICU therapists in the Club! The article will come out next Monday!

Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself, glad to have found you! I’ve been working for over 6 years as an O.T., trained in Canada (Ontario, McMaster University), currently living and working in Michigan, U.S.A., so I have many ongoing questions about working in a completely different health care system than I grew up and trained in! In addition I’m eager to learn as much as I can in each new work setting, and I’ve just started in a new outpatient clinic, mainly pts with TBI following car accidents. So it’s great to have an address for resources, questions, news, etc. etc.

Hi Kari! Welcome to the US and to the OT Potential Club! It is so great to have you! We are here for you as questions come up! Have you seen this example eval yet? https://club.otpotential.com/t/example-ot-evaluation-op-ot-s-p-concussion/173
It reminds me of your work setting! If you ask any questions related to a similar eval, I bet the author will chime in to answer them!
