Dr. Nancy Carson with the MUSC Occupational Therapy program at MUSC is seeking caregivers to be interviewed by our OT and PT students this summer. The goal is for the students to gain new perspective and insight into the lives of people who are caring for a loved one.
Objectives include:
1) discuss the challenges and rewards identified from the interview experience
2) recognize the varied experiences and the scope of care partners
3) reflect on the role of OT and PT in supporting care partners
4) synthesis information gathered from the interviews into a presentation using a form of the humanities to reflect and better understand the experience of caregiving.
The students are in groups of 3 students per interview with a few groups of 4 students. Students will be reaching out beginning June 17 and will schedule interviews for some time over the following 4-5 weeks, the interview should occur no later than July 22, ideally the end of June or beginning of July. The interview can be via Zoom or in person.
