Are you ready for a slice of innovation? 🍕🧠 Our latest SOTA Lunch & Learn event was a hit thanks to Teryn Bieler and Jeannine Eastland! 🙌🏼 These Touro OT alum and NYC DOE occupational therapists shared their hands-on workshop and inservice on an exciting new interoception awareness curriculum they are implementing at their District 75 school. They're helping students learn to feel, identify, and act appropriately on internal senses and states to improve functional performance and behavior. And of course, it wouldn't be a Lunch & Learn event without pizza!🍕#SOTA #OccupationalTherapy #otstudent #wearetouro
As the 3rd year Manhattan DPT students completed their clinical rotations, the Student Physical Therapy Association asked a few to reflect on their experiences. To close out the week, we have Mackenna Krakowsky: ❓What has been your most challenging patient case?❓ To be honest there are a number of patient cases that are challenging, but one of the most challenging is a post concussion syndrome patient with cognitive/fatigue, vestibular, and migraine profiles. It is a challenging case because some of their main symptoms involve short term memory deficits as well as cervicogenic dizziness and migraine symptoms. This make it difficult because they have trouble remembering exercises/interventions and thus increasing the time it takes for them to make consistent improvements. ❓What has been your biggest takeaway from this experience?❓ This whole clinical has been a learning experience! Academically, I have learned about vestibular rehab, differential diagnoses (some I didn't even know existed!) and how to regress and progress vestibular treatment interventions. Additionally, I have really learned the importance of patient education in this setting. And personally, I have learned to trust my instincts as a clinician and to embrace the unknown by consistently being encouraged to ask questions and pursue new information. #physicaltherapy #ptstudent #pt
