Do we educate for what is or what we want it to be?
I have one comment about this - My OT education included both ways, a lot of UE PT from some professors, but my most dynamic exciting professor was Gary Kielhoffner. I listened to his vision, liked it, and went on to fail my first phys dis affiliation. I came in as a 21 year old who knew it all, and they were doing UE PT, and I told them so. You can imagine how they took being told that they were doing OT all wrong by a 21 year old. I don't blame GK, I blame myself, but you might issue a word of caution about how to impart the vision to the students you send out on field work. --- Jody Greer Van Ness.
