I am so excited to complete my final fieldwork placements for completion of the MOT program at UTHSC.

      This is beautiful, however, needs to be rewritten to reflect past tense.

      encouraged her and provided

    2. do not do well with wounds

      You were treating a person, not a wound. Can you rephrase?

    6. clients.

      Can you give an example of one way in which you altered your treatment plan for a child with this diagnosis?

    7. were able to try on

      Here is an example similar to my first comment: instead of "we were able to try on the device"--meaning that you had the opportunity, say instead "we tried on the device". The latter tells me what you did, the former tells me only that you were given the opportunity, but not necessarily that you took it. Let me know if this makes any sense.

    8. e-stim

      jargon

    9. was able to participate

      When you write "I was able to...." it leaves the reader wondering if you actually engaged in the activity. The mere fact that you had the opportunity doesn't necessarily tell the reader that you DID do the activity. Think about what you are trying to convey with precision: you can write "I participated in many inservice opportunities". Can you tell the difference?

    1. Myself and the PT d

      This is a side comment: when talking about your work with others, it is customary to include oneself last, i.e., you could rephrase this as "The physical therapist and I did not change....etc." This is just a suggestion for a more conventional style--putting others first before yourself in a sentence.
