At Pi Beta Phi, we have weekly Patient Care Conferences (PCC) meetings where all rehabilitation team members come together to discuss client outcomes, care plans, and progress toward goals. It allows us to promote crossover between therapy sessions and builds a more unified team approach to client care. Below I have included a picture of a screenshot from a discussion post where I discuss these meetings.

am blessed to say, I am currently a second-year occupational therapy student completing my two 12-week level II rotations. My first rotation is at Encompass Health Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital in Memphis, TN, and my second rotation is at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women in the NICU, also located here in Memphis, TN. I am so excited to complete my final fieldwork placements for completion of the MOT program at UTHSC.
