The following commentary from the National Academy of Medicine calls on occupational therapy educators and practitioners to collaborate with students to educate, learn, and practice using an array of clinical and self-care tools to provide compassionate patient-centered care. Mindfulness awareness and self-care protocols may guide occupational therapy practitioners, educators, and students to access adaptive coping skills to orchestrate the educator, student, and practitioner roles with personal life. Combating stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout states becomes possible while making room for essential, attentive presence in student and therapeutic encounters—and greater patient and student outcomes and satisfaction is a potential outcome.
