Hello club! My name is Brittney. I am an OTA student in California and am currently in my first fieldwork placement in the acute hospital setting. I have enjoyed listening to the OT Potential podcast for quite a few months and I finally decided to join the club. I am looking forward to learning from all you seasoned professionals on EBP literature and looking to pave my way through this wonderful occupation.
Welcome, @brittney5!! Thank you so much for being a podcast listener!! How exciting that you are on your first FW placement! I’m excited you joined us, so we can accompany you on your journey from student to practitioner!!
Hello! My name is Sara also and I have been working as a pediatric OT in the school district and out, for six years. I absolutely love being an OT! I am enjoying the benefits of becoming a member of this club. Having research more accessible and easier to implement into my treatments as already been such a great gift!
I’m so glad you are here, @donna13! I also think we missed a call you yesterday, so Mitchell sent you a text! We’d love to hop on the phone with you! Or you can email me personally at sarah@otpotential.com
Wow, Sarah, I feel inspired. Just as I was feeling disconnected from the OT community and all the great work and research going on in our field, I found your club! I jumped right in and can’t wait to start learning from my peers!

I’m so glad you found us! The research we look at does tend to keep us on our toes, and is progressive! As someone from rural middle America, I love bridging this research with everyday practice, and I’m glad you are along for the ride!
Oh, I’m so happy you found us when you did @lisa03! The idea for this community was born, when I was feeling super isolated working at a small hosptial in rural Nebraska. I am still in awe of the connections created on here, and hope you have the same experience!
