Short Term Goals

My short term goals include the following:

  • By November of 2018, I will have successfully graduated from Queen's University in the MSc. Occupational Therapy program.

  • During the summer of 2018, I will mentor expert OTs to gain more experience in the field, gain competence in a variety of settings, as well as form relationships with established and expert OTs. 

  • Starting in September of 2018, I will begin searching for employment in New Brunswick as an OT through Horizon Health. 

  • I will apply for the provincial registration through the NBOT association to be able to gain employment before completing the NOTCE exam, once I find employment in New Brunswick.  

  • I will complete and pass the NOTCE registration exam in November in Saint John, New Brunswick.

Long Term Goals

My long term goals include the following:

  • I will continue to learn and grow as a therapist by attending at least 5 workshops per year that are of interest to me and that are appropriate to the population that I will be working with. 

  • Within the first 4 years of practice, I will support the education of OT students by becoming a fieldwork supervisor to OT students. 

  • When I become an expert therapist, I will establish a private practice business within areas of the health care system that I feel have a gap that needs to be filled within my community. 

"I'm an occupational therapist, an obscure profession if there ever was one. We are few and far between, maybe because we have chosen to serve people with disabilities. All disabilities. Not a glamorous endeavour, nor a lucrative one. And I say serve because we dream that in helping we see weakness, while in serving we see wholeness. We've opted for wholeness nearly a century ago and have been at odds with the system ever since. We don't fix people, you see: with them, we simply try to find a way to meaning, balance, and justice. I choose occupational therapy because it blends science, humanism, intellectual rigour and compassion." - Rachel Thibeault
