Meanwhile, I'm always thrilled to &amp;quot;meet&amp;quot; an OT who gets it - the more of us that do, the better chance OTs have of being properly recognized as being eminently qualified for positions where the job title is CM, as well as for CM certification exams!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe in continuing education to become better at something, but it should never hold someone back from starting something. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OTs should assert themselves as the excellent, well-rounded case manager that they already are. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
