Hi Miri, I am testing in 3 days and just found your videos, they are so helpful! However, I am getting confused with this one- should we be studying from the 2010 Code of Ethics or the 2015? The 2015 code lists the six principles as: Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, Justice (not separated into social/procedural), veracity, and fidelity. I am finding both versions in my study materials, so am really wondering what is going to be on the actual exam.
Hi Tonya! Thank you for your message and kind feedback. I'm glad you're finding these videos helpful. For this video, I included information from both the 2010 and 2015 AOTA Code of Ethics because the contents from both statements are continuing to be used and referenced across various platforms, websites, study guides and even among practitioners. I can't state whether or not the actual NBCOT exam comprises of one or the other, or both, and am not sure if NBCOT issued an official statement on whether or not the contents of the 2010 Code of Ethics is still in use. But to be safe, I personally studied them both, which is why I chose to include them in my video. These things also frustrated me when I was preparing for the board, so I understand your concern...
I want to thank you for your videos. They help me a lot I took my NBOT a month ago. I glad to say I PASSED with flagging colors. I had so much doubt going in taking it. But your videos clam me down to the point that I knew the material and it was all in gods hands after that. But thank you so much.
Congratulations, Elbert! How wonderful and thoughtful of you to think of me and come back to share this exciting news! I appreciate your feedback, and even more so, you having shared your journey with me. I hope you'll continue to stay engaged in our community as you practice and hopefully our paths will cross once more in real life!! Congratulations again!
I took my test at the beg of the month and passed! Thank you for sharing all that you do! Even though I passed NBCOT I still look forward to your videos 😊
Congratulations Gloria! That's great news and I'm so happy for you! Thank you so much for your continued support and for staying connected here. It warms my heart, Gloria!
Hello Miri! I wanted to share that after taking the exam 3 times I found out I passed today! Thankyou for your encouragement and study tools which I have been using this entire journey studying for the NBCOT. Your teachings are phenomenal and you are truly inspiring. I am officially a COTA!! 😃🙏
Congratulations Mishion! I'm so happy to hear you passed the exam!! It was ultimately *your* relentless dedication, hard work and commitment that brought you to this point and you should be so proud of yourself for breaking through the all the barriers to reach this achievement. This is just the beginning for you my friend and I pray that God will bring you to the people, places and experiences that will allow you to express and live out your highest potential. Congratulations again!
awww Nikky, it makes me so happy to know that these videos can bring a smile to your face. What more can I ask for?? Your message delights my heart... ❤️❤️❤️
OT Miri I just want to thank you for everything. Passed my board exam. I’m a visual and auditory learner so your videos were perfect. Thank you SOOO much! 💕
Denise oh my goodness!!! Yay!! Congratulations! This makes me soooo happy to hear! I’m toasting you you tonight! I hope you continue to find reasons to celebrate as you go through different chapters of your OT journey. Please stay in touch! I hope we meet each other some day at one of the AOTA conferences.
As a new OTA student and substitute teacher I can't thank you enough for your AWESOME videos, you do such a wonderful job explaining everything in detail and relating it back to scenarios! They are very much appreciated!
Hi Madison! Thank you for your sweet and enccouraging note! It delights me to know that you're finding these videos helpful. I hope you'll continue to feel encouraged and supported here as you continue along your OT journey!
oh you're welcome, Rachel! So glad our timing worked out! As you continue to prepare for your exam in this final week, I wish you peace, strength and faith to overcome any doubt you may have and claim that title in your heart as you walk into the testing center!
Oh the stars aligned for us, Brianna! I hope this video provides the clarification you needed. You may not feel 100% prepared or that you know everything, but remember to rely on your critical thinking and reasoning even when you are met with unfamiliar scenarios because that will help you eliminate answer choices and derive to the correct answer. You can do this- you already have everything you need within you to pass. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, Brianna!!
Hi Miri! Firstly I just wanted to thank you for videos they are a study tool that me and all my classmates are utilizing! I'm taking my NBCOT on the 6th and I'm stuck on TBI's (recognizing kind of the behaviors etc, how they match with the Ranchos Los Amigos, and what you really need to know for the NBCOT) Thanks so much for all the videos!
Hi Rainey! Thank you for your message! I'm so happy to know that you and your classmates are enjoying and utilizing these videos. I'm currently trying to finish out the pediatric milestones, but I've received several requests for TBI and hope to get to it soon. Not sure it'll be possible by the 6th, but will do my best!!
I take my exam in two weeks and I've been struggling with studying and negative thoughts. Think I will have to postpone. So glad my friends referred me to your videos. Going to get started on them
The days leading up to the exam can be anxiety provoking for many of us. I'm glad you're here and I hope you find comfort and encouragement through these videos, in addition to some good study tips and strategies that help you feel better prepared and more confident. Take good care!
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I do not have one on OT Practice Framework, but that'd be a great one to do sometime in the future! Take good care and thank you for being here.
You are so awesome!!!!!! We just want you to ourselves lol. Side note: I know you are a busy human being with human being responsibilities haha. Can’t wait for the upcoming videos if you still feel led though😁
awww, thank you Jasmine! It's been touch juggling everything during this past year with two little ones, but I am very much looking forward to making more videos soon! Thank you for being here my friend!
I love your video I will be watching ALL of them, this was super helpful. The way that I personally remember nonmaleficence is from watching Sleeping Beauty. The Evil queen in the movie is named Maleficent. : )
You should take the audio from all these videos and turn it into a podcast. That way we can listen to it in the car without using all the data with videos.
I am referencing the "Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics (2015)." In this, there are only six principals. In your video, you reference the 2010 version. Which version should be referenced for the exam?
Hi Stephanie, I get this question often so I pinned one of the comments with my response to it. But in short, I included information from both the 2010 and 2015 AOTA Code of Ethics because the contents from both statements were being used and referenced across different study materials and practice exams while I was preparing for the exam. But that was year 2017 and I can't say with certainty whether or not current study materials contain both 2010 and 2015. I also don't know if the actual NBCOT exam comprises of questions from one or the other, or both. To be safe, I personally studied them both and would encourage others to do the same, especially if current study materials continue to reference items from both statements.
Yes, being transparent is upholding the ethics of veracity and I go over this in 23:42. Procedural justice has to do with being fair, impartial and upholding state/territorial law governing the profession (AOTA Ethics). Upholding the law includes being transparent about any potential conflict of interest. Please rewatch from 23:02 to better understand the context of what I was referring to when I was speaking about procedural justice - Here, I am giving an example of how one can uphold the law and ensure compliance (procedural justice) by disclosing potential conflict of interest. This is why understanding the material conceptually is so important instead of memorizing the definition. There may be overlap in some of these definitions, as I mention in the video, so please take some time to review by thinking about different clinical/practical scenarios that would either promote or violate the code of ethics. Hope that helps! You can also review the AOTA Code of Ethics statements here: www.aota.org/About-Occupational-Therapy/Ethics.aspx
Hi Malerie, I do not have a video specifically on the values. For future reference, all the videos I have are listed under the "videos" or "playlist." You can also search for specific topics using keywords and search terms.

Thanks, that sounds like a great plan, I will study both as well. I looked for clarification from NBCOT but couldn't find anything

You should be a professor and teach, teach, teach!

The nonMALeficence reminds me of Maleficient...the villain from sleeping beauty hehe

MIRI!!! I take my NBCOT tomorrow and this is what I've been mixing up and was wishing you had a video on these topics...THANK YOU!!!!
