"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the 20 hours OT Shadowing program. It was an incredibly enriching experience, and I learned so much about the field of occupational therapy. The insights and practical knowledge I gained have further solidified my passion for pursuing a career in this field."--Pre-OT Student

"I just finished the 20 observation hours and wanted to give a highly positive feedback. Not only was the module informative, however it captured examples in all different areas of OT (some I didn’t know existed previous to completing the hours). I feel I came out with such a broader understanding of the purpose and goal of OT."--Pre-OT Student 

"I was able to observe patients and specified areas that I wouldn't have been able to experience at my shadowing clinic. I also really appreciate that I can go back and review at any time, this was amazing."--Pre-OT Student

"I have just recently completed the Intro to OT: 20 Observation Hours course. I really enjoyed the patient visits I was able to sit in on especially the inpatient treatments because I have been unable to get into a hospital to shadow an OT who does inpatient visits. This experience was so neat and made me even more excited to pursue occupational therapy as my future career!"--Pre-OT Student

"This website provided so much insight to me on the field of OT. I have been wanting to get more in depth knowledge about the different aspects of the field and this website allowed me to do that without trying to do in person shadowing at a variety of different hospitals. It made my OTD application process 10 times smoother! I would recommend this to anyone needing observation hours for their OT application."--Pre-OT Student

"When I was first introduced to OT, I was set on working in pediatrics. After completing this simulation, I realized I am interested in all areas of the field. The areas that interest me the most are still pediatrics, but also neuro and mental health."--Pre-OT Student

"I really enjoyed this OT simulation course. I have completed other virtual hours, but this one was by far the best! I enjoyed being able to read the patients' charts, seeing the actual interaction between the patient and the therapist, having access to the assessments, being able to score each assessment, and answering the questions at the end to ensure that I was understanding what was going on. I recommend this opportunity to anyone who is looking for observation hours!"--Pre-OT Student

"After completing this shadow experience I have a better grasp on all the settings and interventions that I will be able to do as an Occupational Therapist."--Pre-OT Student

"After completing this course, I do feel like I have a better understanding of what occupational therapist do. I only had shadow experience in pediatrics, and while I knew occupational therapists worked in many different settings, there were still some I didn't know. It was very interesting to see all the things an occupational therapist can do and how many different settings they can work in."--Pre-OT Student

"Before this course I had only shadowed hand therapy and an outpatient center, so my I did not get to see as much as I would have liked. However after this course, I have now seen all the parts and different types of patients that I can encounter in the field which can only better my experience as an occupational therapist."--Pre-OT Student

"I really enjoyed the course! It was very helpful and I am so thankful that I came across it. Thank you so much for putting the course together."-- Pre-OT Student

"I am so glad that I decided to complete this shadowing practice! In undergrad I don't get much insight as to what occupational therapy really looks like in a variety of different settings, but, during this practice it provided that opportunity and clarified what setting I want to go into! I also found it interesting how although they were all occupational therapists they all brought their own unique twist to things and being that they were in a variety of different settings, it was interesting to see the kind of work that they do!"--Pre-OT Student

"After completing this shadow experience I do have an overall better understanding of occupational therapy practice. On top of that, I have a new profound appreciation for this career and more excitement in my journey to become an occupational therapist"--Pre-OT Student

"I love that you can access at any time and take your time with it. Everything gets explained pretty well. It was super interesting to get such a good insight, I think it really helps you understand what to expect within the field. I love how they gave different fields of OT practice."--Pre-OT Student

"Amazing experience! I would not change this experience. It takes determination and discipline to go after what you want, you just have to take the first step and this course provided that opportunity! Thank you!" --Pre-OT Student

"I really enjoyed the course and I learned a lot while taking it."--Pre-OT Student

"This course was extremely beneficial for me! In my area, I have only been able to shadow pediatric clinics in person. This gave me the opportunity to see many other areas of practice, and now I feel like I better understand what the profession of occupational therapy is as a whole. I also really liked how this was self-paced, because I was easily able to work it into my busy schedule."--Pre-OT Student

"The course was really amazing and showed a lot of aspects of what OT's do!"--Pre-OT Student
