Hi peeps! #otalk
@gemOT18
@OTalk_ @MulryMary [REDACTED USER] I’ll be lurking & hope to contribute too #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary So you are talking about placements, I presume? #otalk
@gemOT18
@BillWongOT @MulryMary I’ve never had experience of this before but can see its benefits for students #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary @OTalk_ I once was in a placement with 3 OT’s sharing the load. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
First question. #otalk https://t.co/2CvZxYLGqh
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary @OTalk_ I think having a variety of perspectives was great. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary Good point! Completely depends on students & their interests in the placement area of work #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary [REDACTED USER] Glad to have you lurking! Enjoy the family visit #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @gemOT18: [REDACTED USER] @MulryMary Good point! Completely depends on students & their interests in the placement area of work #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@beckycooper___ @MulryMary Yes- like in the setting I am in now, it is hard to get more than 1 perspective due to small caseload. #otalk
@gemOT18
@KimWillisOT Technological is great when it works but all too disheartening 😩when it goes wrong. Catch up with it afterwards I guess?! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I want to take on more- but I think it would be counterproductive for me take on 2. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Do you find educators are reluctant to take on more than one student? Do they get work place support to do this and keep up with work? #otalk https://t.co/MDockSFu4w
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ And then if there are placements going beyond 1 week- it won’t suit my personal schedule and it will make my other OT staff mad even if I was able. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Long time no see Jayne! I agree I probably would be resistant as to me it feels so new... would be happy to try it with the right support in my trust. Getting some ideas hopefully from tonight’s #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I am not reluctant... just that the caseload I have was not allowing me to. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary It might be but in my area of work we have difficulties with hot desking, remote working and lack of IT equipment for students. Trying to think how we manage this? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary @OTalk_ I think they were cohesive for the most part. But in my setting... I know my working style is a little different from my OTA. So it was a dynamic my students got to see. #otalk
@gemOT18
@KimWillisOT @OTalk_ I agree this is more common for educators to share a student rather than one educator with 2 or more students #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary I think everyone has to be on the same page. If not, then the students will have a confusing experience. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 2: #otalk https://t.co/eOffUQ4hSx
@gemOT18
@MulryMary Just said this but challenges are: practically having the right IT resources and managing agile working, lack of desk space & community working ie needing to drive to visits. Benefits would be trying a new way of working, students supporting each other #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ For me, I want to, but my personal schedule made it difficult to take a student beyond a week! #otalk

[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @MulryMary And in my setting, it does hamstrung my building manager’s abilities to staff people for OT help. After all, she realize it is not fair for the student to bounce around at moments’ notice. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @gemOT18 @MulryMary In my setting, it will be good for OT’s to bounce ideas around with one another whenever they have a chance to meet. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
For me this probably replicates the work place. Different people have different needs but we have to find a way to work together. Could be a challenge if both students have issues and only one educator, possibly more from the educators perspective? #otalk https://t.co/mES9VxmvxB
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT @MulryMary I remember being a newly qualified OT and gave a lift to a student and we had lots of informal supervision’s which helped both of us. But it was an informal arrangement which maybe was more comfortable #OTalk

@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT @MulryMary Well that educator is a hero! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary In my setting, we actually had an article that having students doesn’t have too much impact on overall productivity. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
https://t.co/SSvwHIifXM here is the AJOT article on placement students and productivity. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary Also I am the only OT in an MDT so plenty of opportunity for finding out about other professions for students... I wonder in a team with more OTs if having more students is easier? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary You should write a comment to the article I just shared. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary [REDACTED USER] And I know for me, I just planned my first placement student’s experience in 20-30 minutes only! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary Check the hashtag. I just shared it after your reply. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary @OTalk_ Well- all I had to go on when planning for my student was my past experiences. I think such were good foundations to build from too. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @TheRetreatYork Our placement co-ordinator does the same in our trust which is v helpful. Also organises other training & peer support #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] @MulryMary I felt the same way. But I have to convince myself that I need to be braver... especially since that there is an immense shortage for placements. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@beckycooper___ @MulryMary @OTalk_ Since I go to so many conferences, my odds of meeting academic placement educators are very high. So I use those opportunities to debrief when I see them. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@MulryMary I think clear expectations, boundaries and guidance for students and educators would be essential. Also students/ educators with additional needs would need a more bespoke approach? #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Last 10 minutes or so for #otalk @MulryMary
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@beckycooper___ @MulryMary @OTalk_ And our profession is so small, sometimes I work with academic placement educators on multiple levels- not just placements, but also association work. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @MulryMary @OTalk_ In the US, we have such options. But sometimes taking a day off just to attend such workshops might not be feasible. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] For me, I email my student as soon as I receive his/her contact info. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good question. I would, but I would want support from the Uni and within my organisation to ensure a good experience all round. #otalk https://t.co/LFYDw7dYW7
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MulryMary @OTalk_ If I could, I would. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I agree contact beforehand is so important, even a phone call or email is good if a visit isn’t possible #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @MulryMary @OTalk_ I want to... but sometimes that is hard if student lives a good ways away from me. So email/phone call before the placement will have to do. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Amongst the many hats I am also wearing... lol! #otalk
@gemOT18
@MulryMary @OTalk_ I have to be honest I’m not sure I would be able to have students of different levels of their training- too many variables! But students if same level of training is more feasible #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Wowzers that hour went so fast! Don't worry if continue to chat, we won't get the transcript until tomorrow. Great chat @MulryMary . #otalk
@gemOT18
@OTalk_ @MulryMary This chat has encouraged me to keep an open mind and further the future of practice placements #OTalk
