if you like psych then stay with your program, if not then consider other alternatives
: Hi! I am in a clinical psychology phD program
: (just started), and have been having serious
: doubts. I am thinking of becoming an OT.
: First of all, I am afraid that a
: psychologist's level of diagnostic expertise
: is really not that much greater than that of
: an OT. It seems that OTs do treatment
: planning with a lot of different populations,
: and are capable of a variety of functional
: assessments even though they do not
: diagnose. And other than that, I've been
: finding out that OTs can do research at the
: master's level, and have teaching and
: administration possiblities, since there are
: almost no PhD level OTs.
: DOes this make sense? Does anyone out there
: work with clinical psychologists and can
: concur with that?
: Thanks!
