Thanks for the question!

Some of the challenges faced by an Occupational Therapist are that the the field is emotionally stressful and the job may be physically demanding . Sometimes, institutional barriers may prevent desired results and you may have to work long hours.

Dorie’s Answer

There are often ethical questions and decisions to be made. For example, your supervisor could ask you to provide a type of treatment that you do not feel is best for the patient but garners more money for the facility. What do you do? Take a chance of getting fired to stand up for your beliefs? Do the treatment just because it will make more money even though it is not best for the patient?
