Occupational Therapy is a form of therapy that helps rehabilitation in the patient's everyday tasks.
I always swore to myself that I would never have a career in the medical field. What inspired me to pursue a career in occupational therapy is Misty Wilson.

Misty Wilson works as an occupational therapist at Kansas City Children’s Mercy Hospital. Misty works in the Rehabilitation of Amplified Pain Syndrome (RAPS). She works in this program 3 days a week.

Misty loves her job and couldn’t imagine herself doing anything
