OT IS FOR ME
OT was a new concept to me as I entered my sophomore year of undergrad at Mississippi State. I was a Kinesiology major with no idea of what my future career looked like. I started researching possible career choices that would utilize my Kinesiology background. I stumbled across a website all about the difference between Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. I knew what PT was but OT was foreign. I quickly fell in love with the whole profession! I set up a shadowing experience at Kids Therapy Spot in Starkville Mississippi. That two hours of shadowing a OT confirmed that I was meant for this job! I started making sure I was on track regarding coursework and prerequisites. I found the program at UTHSC and applied. The rest is history! 😊
