Another feature of one of Mid South's wonderful occupational therapists: Keely Fortenberry, OT & DOR at Jefferson Davis Community Hospital in Prentiss, Mississippi. We appreciate you
Keely, and we are thankful you chose OT!

1. Where did you receive your education?
I attended the University of Mississippi Medical Center where I graduated in 2018 receiving a masters in Occupational Therapy.

2. Why did you choose occupational therapy instead of another similar discipline?
I considered athletic training for the longest, but I knew it would not be a very family friendly job for later in my life. So spring break of 10th grade my dad was attending occupational therapy at our local hospital for tennis elbow. I went with him one day to shadow the OT. I decided then OT was now my career path. (Full circle moment: I now get to work with that OT, Brenda Price, when I float to Walthall General!).

3. How long have you worked for Mid South?
I will have worked with Mid South for 4 years this June, and I have served as director of rehab for 2 and half years.

4. What type of patients made the biggest impression on you?
OT is a very diverse career meaning I can work with a 6 month old and a 90 year old in the same day. So it’s hard to pick one type of patient. It’s always a pleasure to see the light bulb go off for the patient (or caregiver) when progress is being made. It’s a boost of motivation for the patient, and it’s always a great reminder of why I became an OT.

5. Do you have any role models/people you attribute your success in your career to?
My family. One: my parents always believed in my goals and dreams. Throughout my entire life, they instilled me all the qualities I needed to be successful throughout my schooling and now in my career. Two: my sister. As an older sister who is also a speech therapist, she has been a true role model and the best advice giver throughout OT school and during my therapy career.

6. If you were to give advice to a student entering OT school, what would you tell them?
As my sister always told me, “work hard now to play later." OT school is hard and stressful. But it’s only a single season of your life that will fly by. Power through because the world needs more OTs!

We couldn't have said it better - the world needs MORE OTs!
