“…This limited focus on leadership within the occupational therapy literature is magnified when considering the historical organization of clinical practice that has typically involved structured departments or units led by managers (Boyt Schell & Yarett Slater, 1998). The limited volume of leadership research is even more surprising given the historically hierarchical and leader-driven organization of occupational therapy faculty into departmental structures.…”

Leadership is vital to the success and sustainability of any group, organization, or profession. Using a qualitative phenomenological methodology, consistent with interpretative phenomenological analysis, this study examines why occupational therapists choose the path of leadership. Data was collected through the completion of semistructured interviews with 10 occupational therapy leaders in Ontario, Canada. This collected data was transcribed verbatim and coded for themes by multiple coders. Several methods were employed to establish trustworthiness. Results identify that a desire to influence the profession or care delivery, a need for personal or career development, and a need for change motivate those occupational therapists who might choose the path of leadership. Recommendations for supporting new or developing leaders include a focus on linking occupational therapy practice and leadership theory at the curriculum and professional levels. Moreover, application of novel approaches to mentorship for new and developing leaders, such as supportive communities of practice, are also considered.

“…Benefits include the development of broad professional skills, which have been identified as essential for future practitioners. These include time and resource management, working with minimal supervision, and self-directed learning (Schell and Slater, 1998). Such benefits need to be promoted to stu-dents as essential elements of future clinical practice alongside the more obvious learning opportunities arising from direct client contact.…”

“…They need to identify their learning needs in these areas and take advantage of professional development opportunities. 25 Our findings identify several areas that need to be addressed by the profession. We believe a mentoring program can be viewed as an integral component of every work environment because it can benefit both the junior staff and the mentor and indirectly benefit the employer and the profession.…”

Background and Purpose. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how a move to program management (PM) from a traditional department structure affected the professional practice of physical therapists in a large Canadian teaching hospital. Subjects. Twenty-five physical therapists participated in 1 of 5 focus groups, and 4 physical therapists participated in individual interviews. Methods. Focus groups and structured interviews were conducted by an experienced facilitator who was not a physical therapist. All focus groups and interviews were audiotaped and transcribed. Using an open-coding technique, 2 investigators undertook line-by-line analysis of each transcript to identify and code specific events related to the physical therapists' experiences. The investigators reached a consensus on all coding categories and then identified themes. Results. Seven themes that addressed issues of affect (a sense of loss, low morale, and positive coping), professional practice (loss of professional development activities, professional advantages, the assuming of multiple roles), and patient care were identified. Discussion and Conclusion. Physical therapists who were deployed from a department to a program described both positive and negative effects of the move to PM on their practice. There were reported influences on their personal affect, professional practice, and patient care. Staff and physical therapy administrators need to be aware of potential implications of an organization's move to PM on the professional practice of frontline staff. [Miller PA, Solomon P.
