We're back for another Fieldwork Friday!🎉
This week we are featuring 2026 M.S. in Occupational Therapy grad, Charlotte Dunn, who completed her last Level II fieldwork placement at Thompson Health on the acute care/inpatient rehab unit. Charlotte had the opportunity work with young adults to older adults with a variety of diagnoses. She enjoyed the opportunities to learn from the interprofessional team, including the physical therapists who guided her through different co-treatment methods.
She was supervised by Ashley Northrup, OT/L. Ashley noted that Charlotte has those qualities that are non-teachable which will take her far in her career as an occupational therapist: compassion, empathy, and responsiveness. Charlotte conducted excellent and thorough evaluations in her time at Thompson, and established appropriate client-centered goals. She also learned more about the shortcomings of our healthcare system and the impacts that can have-- including when necessary equipment is not covered, and how to connect patients to community services like loan closets.
Overall, Charlotte was noted to be a lifelong learner who was eager to grow and build skills throughout her placement. Congratulations to Charlotte on graduating this past weekend-- we're proud of you!💚💛
