Trisha Patel

Occupational therapist committed to continuous learning and innovation, with over six years of experience in outpatient therapy. I thrive the most in envonments where I can make a positive impact on my patients lives. I am eager to explore opportunities where I can help facilitate bridging the gap between traditional and functional therapy, with the overall goal of helping individuals enhance their lives in the areas of self-management, injury prevention, and lifestyle wellness.

• Took the opportunity to present my self management tools to rheumatology clinicians including physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and social workers as well as implement my program with patients at the time of provider visits with the goal of developing early self management skills in the pediatric population.
