How would I go about becoming a pediatric occupational therapist?
I am going into my senior year of high school and have recently discovered my passion in the field of pediatric occupational therapy. I am fully aware that I must attend graduate school and obtain at least a master's degree to be licensed in the United States. I have been looking into combined bachelor's and master's programs where I can get both my undergraduate and first level graduate studies done in five years. In my perspective, this type of OT program will be the most beneficial and efficient way for me to prepare for the exam and eventually become licensed. Unfortunately, not many universities or colleges offer a combined BS/MS program for OT or an OT program in general. I worked hard throughout high school in order to maintain a weighted 4.35 GPA. My goal was to attend a top university, but in order to do so, I am risking a critical advancement in my studies. Should I attend a top school and solely get a bachelor's degree (and additionally a master's degree in a separate program) or attend a lower ranking school that offers a 5-year OT program? #occupational-therapy #occupational-health #whichpath #college #college-major #university

Would I be able to only stay in the pediatrics field in occupational therapy because I want to work with children? Does that include encouraging them to get physically fit and healthy again?
I originally wanted to be a pediatrician because I love working with kids and I believe that that's what I want to do with my life. I love helping people especially children. I started college as a biology major but after taking courses in Biology, I realized that Biology isn't for me. Many advisors and student I've spoke to me told me that I don't have to be a bio major to be a pediatrician. So, I started considering other things I was really interested in. After taking the Myer Briggs test, I discovered what I already knew, that I love helping, encouraging, and taking care of people and children. So, I got a lot of occupations in the medical field and the education field. The two occupations I'm leaning towards to now are Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy. i just have to find out more about them first. #doctor #pediatrics #occupational-therapy #occupational-health
