I am Irin Sultana, a final-year Occupational Therapy student at the Bangladesh Health Professions Institute (BHPI) in Savar, affiliated with CRP.
I chose faith Bangladesh because I felt it would provide me with an opportunity to work more extensively with autism and ADHD—areas I had little prior experience in. At CRP, I have worked with various patients, including children, but I hadn't had much exposure to autism and ADHD. I thought that if I joined faith, I could gain more hands-on experience and learn better, which would be beneficial for my future career.
Parents can easily access therapy sessions online and book them as per their convenience, which I find very convenient and unique. They can do this from home, making it more accessible for everyone. The environment here is also commendable; it's designed in such a way that children enjoy coming here. They can easily collaborate with therapists, and the rules and regulations in place help maintain a structured and safe environment. These systems not only ensure safety but also motivate parents to bring their children here, and the children face no issues.
I believe this place is perfect for children. During my time here, I worked with three occupational therapists and one supervisor. Although the therapists were different individuals, they shared core values. They maintained professionalism, managed the children well, and handled situations uniquely and effectively. I wouldn't have understood these practical aspects without experiencing them firsthand. My experience with them has been very positive. I've received excellent supervision and learned a lot. Since joining Faith, I've gained knowledge that I hadn't encountered before. I've learned professionalism, how to communicate with parents, and how to work with children. These are practical skills that I wouldn't have understood without being here. I believe that in the future, when I work in pediatrics, I will apply the professionalism, discipline, and techniques I've learned here.
I would like to thank faith for providing me with this valuable opportunity. In the future, I will strive to uphold their standards and provide quality service.
Thank you.
