Here is my debrief video for OT 640! Hope you all enjoyed your fieldwork experience as much as I did! Enjoy your summer break :)
Best,

Hey Claire! It sounds like you have had wonderful learning experiences on your FW. I can definitely agree with your thorn about wanting to gain more confidence in expressing your need for more learning opportunities. I sometimes felt the same way on my FW so I would ask my FWE if I could go look around while he performed his documentation! It’s hard feeling like you’re going to step on your FWEs toes when you ask to observe different things so I definitely understand where you’re coming from! I hope you enjoy your summer break! Stay safe and can’t wait to hear more when we return to campus!
It sounds like you had a great time on your fieldwork. You had the opportunity to learn a lot! I can relate to needing to be more vocal and assertive when it comes to my opportunities to practice my skills. On the fieldwork, I had one supervisor that encouraged me to get as much hands on opportunities as possible while the other just used me as a helping hand. While neither of those are wrong, I feel like I gained more confidence when I was able to practice my skills. This was new for me as my other fieldwork supervisors have asked me to do treatments, transfers, etc. I look forward to hearing more about your fieldwork when we are back on campus! Enjoy the rest of your summer!
