Take the show survey!

In spring of 2020, telehealth exploded in the U.S. when health professionals needed to socially distance from their patients in order to deliver care without spreading Covid-19. How did they adapt? What advantages did they realize and what barriers did they overcome? Amanda and Rachel interviewed Amy Lamont, current occupational therapist and MGH IHP alum, about her qualitative study exploring the experience of OTs using telepractice to work with low vision clients. They also discuss the Advanced Doctoral Experience of the IHP's entry level OTD program, participant recruitment during a pandemic, accessibility, and the joys of writing and submitting an IRB application. The episode opens with important announcements!

Read Amy's paper (written with Kasey Brown and Kim Schoessow) Experiences of occupational therapists using telehealth to continue to treat patients with low vision during the COVID-19 pandemic in World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin.

While many of us were safe at home in 2020, the staff on the 4th floor of Spaulding Hospital Cambridge were volunteering to care for Covid-19 patients. In this episode, Amanda and Rachel are joined by Pauline Clarke, a nurse manager at Spaulding Hospital Cambridge and recent 2021 graduate of the MGH IHP Doctor of Nursing Practice program. For her capstone project, Pauline interviewed her staff about their experiences working through the pandemic. What she learned from her staff paints a vivid picture of life and work in 2020 for these dedicated healthcare workers. We discuss the sacrifices they made, as well as the unexpected silver linings they found in the midst of a devastating year.
