| Abstract | I n the final decade of the 20th century, occupational therapy faces one of its greatest challenges: What is our appropriate role and status within the academic environment? The way in which we respond to that challenge has far-reaching implications for our profession and its future. Yet many occupational therapists, focused on their day-to-day practice, are only vaguely aware that something is going on in universities affecting their profession. Events in the ivory tower seem remote from "important" issues such as reimbursement, personnel needs, and the adequacy of the department's budget. Most of us stop thinking about our schools once we enter the exciting and demanding world of clinical reality. My view of the academic world comes from the perspective of one who has been a clinician, a professor, and department chair at a major research university. However, I am foremost an occupational therapist who believes deeply in what our profeSSion has to offer and who wants us to be empowered to offer it. |
