Transcript

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Stephanie who recently completed her degree as an occupational therapy assistant and is currently enrolled in the Occupational studies bachelor’s degree program. You heard that right? You can earn a bachelor’s degree in occupational studies from a community college right here at Santa Ana College. Now we’re gonna hear Stephanie talk about completing her educational goals while working full time. Stephanie, it’s all yours.

– Hey, Alex. I graduated from Santa Ana College’s occupational therapy assistant program and currently enrolled in their occupational studies bachelor degree program. I chose SAC OTA program because it is a very rewarding career that I’m very passionate about. What’s even better is that this is all for the price of a community college. The SAC OS Bachelor degree program stands out from other schools because this one is designed to be flexible for a full-time practitioner such as myself. I’m able to work and practice occupational therapy while expanding my knowledge with new research on intervention techniques, adaptive equipment, and keeping up with the updated diagnoses. Born and raised in Santa Ana, this college is local to me. However, the OS Bachelor program can be accessible to anyone who’s not local in the area. The way this program is designed allows us to gain real life experience from being hands-on in the classroom and actually applying the skills out to our field work sites. To this day, I carry over the skills taught in the classroom to my therapy treatments with patients. Being in this program, we have professors who are skilled in occupational therapy, I can’t express enough how knowledgeable and helpful our professors are. We even have counselors dedicated to us to help us design our education program and assist us with any questions about the program, financial aid, and guiding us in the right direction. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this program enough to those seeking a career in occupational therapy, our top priority is to help each patient gain their independence back. Thank you for listening everyone. Alex, what’s next?
