In my research circles the number of healthcare professionals who are occupational therapist (OT) who I know of who do research are rare. When I visited Sweden, I met an OT who was doing research, of course I invited her to be a guest. This episode surprised me in many ways, but you need to listen to what Dr Maria Andreassen to find out.

1) Your pathway will have surprises

To start the second year, I have invited my first non-researcher guest. Gary Reed is not a researcher. Why have him as a guest? You may have noticed that a lot of guests spoke about the role of mentor’s and coaches in their journey as a researcher. Gary’s name came up in my conversation a previous episode (behind the scenes) as someone who has experience in coaching clinical academic researchers. We speak about the importance of coaches in a researcher’s journey.
