Clinical Confidence Through Clinical Competence Part 1

Description

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified, Deb talks with occupational therapist, Andrea Reed about gaining clinical confidence through clinical competence. We discuss:

Role of the environment and workplace culture in facilitating or hindering growth
How the Covid -19 pandemic changed clinical learning opportunities and experiences
Selecting appropriate interventions with confidence
The effects of time “management” on recovery, clinical performance, and outcomes
Moving away from “shiny object syndrome” to focus on one thing and learning it well for clinical competence and client carryover
Plateau thinking, breaking out of a rigid mindset, and bringing “home programs” to rehab for wise use of the other hours in rehab to set clients up for success.
The service gap that occurs when people leave rehab
Healing is a journey and recovery time varies for each person
Moving towards a collaborative practice model and benefits of simplicity in practice
Clinician inspiration, learning curves and bringing meaning into our practices
