Sometimes, you can learn very enlightening things in class.
As an occupational therapist, we're part of a professional order and have reserved activities under our professional code. These are acts that only we as OTs with licenses can perform, exclusive of all other professions. I learned today that one of these acts is included in the Fishing and Wildlife laws. This reserved act is the functional assessment of individuals with disabilities who hunt using a crossbow. I'm also entitled to assess the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities hunting from a vehicle.
Like no one else is qualified enough to determine if some dude is safe using a crossbow. I feel so special. Who uses a crossbow nowadays anyway?
I love my profession.
