Dinesh shares his journey back to medical school following a spinal cord injury and the practical challenges of adapting to work in medicine.
Together, they discuss accessibility, the importance of attitudes in breaking down barriers, and the valuable role occupational therapists can play in helping people participate in work and everyday life. Dinesh also reflects on his own experience as a patient and how that perspective continues to influence the way he connects with and cares for patients today.
