In this podcast episode we have not one but TWO fabulous clinicians from Peninsula Speech Plus. We've got Tash Lincoln, Occupational Therapist and Jess Georgy, Speech Pathologist sharing with us their experience graduating during a global pandemic.

 

What we get into:

The difficulties and benefits of finishing their fourth year in the middle of a global pandemic

The benefit of practising Telehealth and becoming very adaptable 

The daunting feeling of not honing in on practical skills which are a really key part of occupational therapy

What fields they wanted to explore

Not always having the placement opportunities that they had hoped for and the missed opportunities of experiencing more varied placements throughout their university degrees due to the pandemic

The confronting feeling of being faced with clients for the first time, which they have learned about in theory, or done in an assignment but have never actually practised in person 

The frustrations of not being able to organise their own placements

The difficulty of managing your time when you start in the workforce 

Their advice for other new graduates looking at the marketplace for a job
