Saint Francis Medical Center--Outpatient Rehab
Cape Girardeau, Missouri
one review
Why did you choose this fieldwork?
It was in my hometown, and I had previously observed Ute Smith, Senior Occupational Therapist. I was very impressed by Ute's clinical expertise and how much she strives to be client-centered.
Please indicate type of setting:
Outpatient
Please describe your living and commuting situation. (Was accomodation offered? Public transportation or parking offered? Please include price paid, location and conditions.)
I stayed with family members during my fieldwork, but one of the physical therapy assistants mentioned she would like to make one of her spare bedrooms into student housing. Public transportation is available but I would not recommend using it as it is not reliable.
Describe types of conditions or diagnoses, as well as age ranges exposed to during this fieldwork.
This fieldwork has a strong variety of ages and diagnoses of clients. I saw infants to older adults--autism, pervasive developmental delay, cri du chat, CMV, TIA, stroke, low vision, CVA, TBI, and more.
What types of assessments and interventions were used?
The main assessments used were the Peabody, Clock Drawing, Trailmaking A and B, Short Blessed, MMT, grip and pinch strength, ROM, etc.
What are your thoughts on the site's environment for the employees and students? (Please consider: organization, collaboration, mentoring, learning opportunities)
All therapists are more than willing to help students and answer any questions we have. This site absolutely loves students.
How many stars would you give your experience, from one to five?
5
Any lasting thoughts or advice?
I STRONGLY recommend this site.
