Welcome, @sharon1! What great timing! After our early intervention podcast, we will be looking at an article about building a therapeutic alliance in telehealth! It would be great to hear your insights on it! Our podcast discussion will be with Adam the OT and I anticipate will be really fun and engaging!

Welcome back, @nataliewhite!! Congrats on your new baby! There is nothing like that first maternity leave. That is so cool you work for Mayo Clinic! I am a St. Olaf grad - and am so impressed by the care at Mayo!
I’m curious is Advanced Care at Home a “hospital at home” model?

Welcome, @elizabeth43!! I’m so curious- what is an Assessments OT, or was that a typo
Welcome, @rachel9! It is so great to have you!!!
Thank you @SarahLyon !! It was a very special time. Neat that you are an ‘Ole’-- I am a Gustie grad. You’re right, it is a “hospital at home” model. The Advanced (Acute) Care at Home started in Aug 2020, so it is still very new and changes feel like the norm, but I LOVE helping people rehabilitate in their own homes. Some of the main diagnoses that we see include pneumonia, generalized weakness, congestive heart failure, cellulitis, COVID, and pre-planned orthopedic cases (knees and hips). Are you still practicing in a certain setting or focusing on this endeavor/research? Thank you so much for this amazing resource and network! I have especially appreciated the compilation of assessment tools-- so helpful to keep up-to-date on clinical skills.

Hi @nataliewhite! Awww- so fun to meet a Gustie grad! I now work on OT Potential full-time, but I do miss clinical work!
I’m super interested in the future of hospitals, and I can already tell this is a topic we will cover multiple times in 2023.

Welcome, @bethesullivan! We love having program directors in here! Looks like your program is off to a great start. I love how clear your tuition schedule is on the program page.
One of our big goals in 2023 is to make the Club more searchable for faculty to use our resources in their programs- so you got here just in time
