What’s in a home health PT’s bag?🎒⁣
⁣
A physical therapist’s primary role is the assessment of vitals. These pieces of equipment are essential for PTs to assess the patient’s overall health and appropriateness for physical activity. ⁣
⁣
🌡 Therefore, home health PTs definitely need the proper 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, including:⁣
• Blood pressure monitor (BP)⁣
• Thermometer (temperature)⁣
• Pulse oximeter (SpO2, HR) ⁣
⁣
🦠 Remember, we are still in a global pandemic so we need equipment to sanitize our equipment, bag, and hands. Materials for 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, include:⁣
• Hand sanitizer⁣
• Lysol wipes ⁣
• Gloves⁣
• Masks⁣
⁣
🤟🏽 Beyond that, a physical therapist needs equipment for their 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 & 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, which include:⁣
• Gait belt⁣
• Resistance bands⁣
• Dumbbells ⁣
• Arex pads⁣
• Mobilization belts⁣
etc. ⁣
⁣
Hope this gives you more insight into the life of a home health PT 🤓 - Dr. V⁣

My perspective on WORK has drastically changed since I first started PT school. 💭⁣
⁣
✨ Heading into PT school, I had so much idealism about working in the PT field. My young self did not care about the money. I fully believed that my 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 for helping people was enough. ⁣
⁣
While I still do believe in having a passion for PT, I now have a more well-rounded and realistic view on work. 🔀⁣
⁣
👉🏽 After working 2 years in the profession, I understand the importance of the money & finances. ⁣
⁣
I deeply believe in…⁣
• getting paid your worth. ⁣
• the importance of negotiating for higher pay & benefits.⁣
• getting paid for my time & energy. ⁣
• student debt elimination/cancellation/forgiveness.⁣
• financial education.⁣
• building generational wealth for my family. ⁣
⁣
Remember, a job can fulfill your passions while also providing financial wellness and security. 👍🏽 -Dr. V⁣

How to be a Good Mentee

I’ve been lucky enough to have a couple mentors in my life so far and I am always looking at ways I can be a better mentee

Whether this is in work or at university there are lots of ways you can contribute to your mentee toolkit.

Here are some ideas I try to implement;

🎃 Might be a little brutal but expect support, not miracles. You can expect a certain level of advice and support from your mentor but they are not there to do the work for you or solve your problems.

🎃In fact generally one of the best qualities they could do is offer you a different opinion on something that you maybe hadn’t yet considered.
In order to sustain this relationship it is up to you to initiate contact.

🎃Remember, a lot of the time, they are volunteering to mentor you so it’s your job to make sure they are aware of your interests and goals and equally so ask about theirs.

🎃Equally so, honour your side of the relationship. Your mentor is more than likely in a demanding role and so make sure to appreciate their time and investment; respond to emails and questions promptly and if you are struggling with time, send them a short email to let them know. They will understand!

🎃Be teachable. Remember to be open minded and will to learn new things – you won’t agree all the time but they are there to offered different ideas and opinions that you might not have considered.

Are you a mentor or mentee currently? Let me know ⬇️

Who inspires you?
.
It’s World Occupational Therapy Day, and I could think of no better time to share SOME of my favorite OTs that inspire me as a clinician and as a person!

Thank you for taking up space and showing up where it matters.

Thank you for being you and no one else.

In this profession we don’t strive for cookie-cutter interventions, and I’m so glad we don’t fit into just one box as OTPs either.

Thanks for serving clients, families, and communities everywhere.

And thanks for bringing us along on the journey ❤️❤️

I wish I could share everyone but that definitely would not fit in a reel lol. So, please tag someone that inspires you and take the time to make their day!!

✨𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲✨
Today is the day to acknowledge and celebrate occupational therapists (OTs). Over 130K+ OTs practice in the US, but according to 2019 statistics:
✨~12% of OTs identify as Black/African-American.
✨~5% of OTs identify as Hispanic/Latinx.

𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦! 😍 Two of them will be interviewed TONIGHT 8pm EST on our YouTube channel (🔗 in bio).
• • •
To all the OTs, you are killing the game! Thank you for your crucial role in patient care. To all black and brown women who are occupational therapists, we celebrate you for representing and laying the foundation for the future generation of OTs who look like you. So many kids need to learn more about your profession, and that is exactly what I plan to do with Rose, who is one of my main characters in my children's book, "Girls for Medicine."

Tag an OT who is underrepresented in medicine and show them some love today!
