Description
Curious about occupational therapy? My name is Jordan and I am a new grad occupational therapist (OT) excited to share my occupational therapy journey.
Whether you are pre-OT, applying to OT school, a current OT student, or a new grad OT like myself ...this is for you!
Welcome to the Once Upon OT Podcast, where we talk about becoming the best OT we can be through interviews, reflections, and stories. After all, we can’t spell story, without OT
