Ever feel like you're just a cog in the healthcare machine, even though you trained to make a real difference? What if occupational therapists could build thriving practices on their terms and love their work again?
Welcome back to Uncaged Clinician! I'm your host, David Bayliff. Today’s guest is Lesli Jenkins, an occupational therapist and owner of Next Step Oncology Lymphedema OT in the Fort Worth-Dallas area.
Lesli shares her path from burnout to building a successful mobile practice. She discusses the challenges occupational therapists (OTs) face, the decision to take control of her career, and the value OTs bring to healthcare.
Here’s what we’re diving into in this episode:
The reality of burnout and disillusionment in OT
Why do many OTs feel like outsiders in their own profession
The creative and entrepreneurial potential of occupational therapists
How Leslie built her mobile lymphedema/oncology practice from the ground up
Partnering with other healthcare pros without losing your OT identity
Encouragement for clinicians ready to start their own business
You’re not stuck. You’re not just one piece of a system that doesn't see you. You’re an innovator, a creative, and an essential healthcare provider. As Leslie says, “You can create whatever environment you want to thrive in.” This episode serves as a reminder that autonomy isn’t a dream; it’s an option. And it starts with one bold step.
