Background

About Murphy Sean

I am a graduate of Dalhousie University with a B.Sc. degree in Occupational Therapy (1997) and a B.Sc.(Honors) in Biology (1993). I currently work for the NSCC as a facilitator for the OTA-PTA program at Cumberland Campus. I also completed my CCEDP during my term (Graduating Aug 2011). During my tenure, I have successfully built solid relationships within the rehabilitation community and within the college for the OTA-PTA program. Also, the use of portfolio as a reflective tool within the program has been vitally important to both the learners and me. These experiences will enable me to continue being an asset to learners and the NSCC. I also have relevant experience throughout my twelve years as an occupational therapist. I have attained a level of expertise in the areas of stroke rehabilitation, return to work management, inpatient discharge planning, and outpatient care. I have worked with and supervised rehabilitation assistants in several provinces. Collaboration in the health care environment is essential to successful client outcomes. I bring experience of the team approach to learners and to the teaching environment as well. My best personal attributes are my sincerity and industriousness. Self-discipline and creative problem solving are hallmarks of my work. Life-long learning is very important to me and I take every possible opportunity to improve myself. I believe I have taken these attributes and combined them with a passion for teaching. As a result, I have enjoyed supporting students and developing the program.
