Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
"I haven't directly worked with patients that have suffered a stroke, but I know that an initial assessment is of critical importance to look at their entire life picture. After the initial assessment, I can look at working with them on daily living functions, communication and social well-being. Strokes effect each individual differently so a customized approach is required for each patient that suffers from a stroke."

In my current home health setting, I have worked with many patients upon coming home after suffering from a stroke. In this situation, it is important to assess the patient's daily living tasks and make arrangements for them to make life as easy and independent as possible. For most patients recovering in their own home, involving the family and caregivers is equally important as well in the recovery of the patient."

As an Occupational Therapist, you know that stroke survivors face multiple challenges, such as weakness on one side of the body, a decline in cognitive and emotional functioning, social disability, inability to walk and care for themselves, and a decrease in community participation. Tell the interviewer what therapy you would use for a stroke patient to increase their chance of a life of independence.

"I have worked for the last two years with patients that have suffered from a stroke. I understand the importance of emotional well-being, social connections, and healthy life habits for individuals post-stroke. I look forward to bringing my skills to this position to care for stroke patients."
