Amber Rose

Occupational Therapist

Fairmont Hospital/South Shore Convalescent Hospital

where she earned her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy, MOT. She earned her BA degree in Kinesiology at California StateUniversity, Sacramento.

It was the profession’s Mind/Body approach that appealed to Brose and prompted her to choose a career in occupational therapy. As a graduate student, Brose provided occupational therapy services through community based pediatric and mental health clinics and gained extensive experience in the acute care setting. She enjoys working with the adult and older adult populations and is particularly interested in Neuro-Rehabilitation and Complementary Alternative Medicines.Brose states, “A person who is flexible, creative, open-minded, and compassionate should consider a career in occupational therapy. If interested, inquire locally, pick a population of interest, and request to shadow a therapist. If you remain intrigued, follow your heart, it will lead to someone doing the impossible!”
