Malpractice Insurance
Choosing malpractice insurance to protect your Occupational Therapy professional liability may seem perplexing and scary. You may say to yourself, I am a responsible Occupational Therapy practitioner and I follow the rules and progression of evaluation and treatment. Even the most responsible and meticulous Occupational Therapist and Occupational Therapy Assistant is not protected by intelligence and skill, rather they are protected by a means of the universal language-MONEY!
You may now be wondering if you are protected under your employer’s policy, sometimes referred to as an umbrella policy. Your employer may provide malpractice insurance, but research this policy and find out how YOU are protected:

Occupational Therapy Month or Life?
This brought to you by: OT-ADVANTAGE.COM
April is Occupational Therapy month and it is vastly approaching. My question is, why is OT recognized once a year? The pressure becomes enormous to try and plan an event or to publicize Occupational Therapy and its wonderful attributes one time a year.

If you are an Occupational Therapy practitioner, student, or educator, I challenge you to pay it forward! Read more...

What is Your OTality?
This blog brought to you by: WWW.OT-ADVANTAGE.COM
Working in a healthcare facility as an Occupational Therapy practitioner one meets a variety of personalities. One may see the person that walks with coffee in hand, another who keeps to themselves when working with a client, or the social butterfly. And there may be the occasional person who becomes frustrated easily toward others! Whatever the case, everyone has the same end game; helping a client reach their goals.
