That is an excellent point, the range of health professions that ought to be looked at. One of the reasons we can be here today as organizations is that we have reached a critical mass in our profession. We're very thankful for it. The reason we don't see physiotherapist organizations or occupational therapist organizations or pharmacist or X-ray techs is that they don't have that critical mass yet. We have to tread the very difficult line of taking care of our own interests as mediciners—nurses or CHRs, etc.—rather than ensuring that our students are aware of the range of options available to them.
If you're talking about a student from a rural remote community, they'll never have seen an occupational therapist or have any clue as to what it even means or what that person does. I know that's probably true for most of the general population, though: occupational therapy is a tough one.
This goes back to one of the points I raised earlier, which is that we have to be working with students, families, and teachers much earlier to ensure that when students are at an age at which they can start to understand what the range of different health professions is, they are prepared to enter one, whether they want to be the CHR and work in heath promotion in their community or want to become an X-ray tech or a PT or whatever. It's the common beginning that we need to focus more on.
