OTlaw Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi all, I graduated from law school a couple years ago, and have been considering transitioning career paths for a while. After some serious research, I think OT might be the path for me, however I don't want to jump into this without getting my feet wet first. Does anyone have any connections or recommendations for places where I can shadow/volunteer under an OT? I am open to shadowing in as many different areas as possible to get an idea if this is really for me. Thanks! OTlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewAtThis Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hello, I'm sorry that I can't speak of anything in Toronto but how I got started with experience in PT was that I just entered a clinic close by and asked "do you accept additional help/volunteer? I'm very interested in becoming a _________ and I would love to get some experience." It seemed really daunting before I did this but honestly, the first place I asked said of course and had me gaining valuable experience at the clinic almost immediately. I wish I asked sooner so I could have had even more experience/hours when I applied in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BecomingAnOT Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hello, I shadowed an OT at Westpark Healthcare Centre, they took me in immediately. You can try there! As for the rest I emailed a bunch of places in Toronto (e.g. Toronto Rehab, Sunnybrook, Grace hospital etc) asking if there are any opportunities to shadow an OT. Start emailing right now!
