Abstract

The choice of a profession, a specialty within this profession as well as the public or private sector of practice is based on values and various other considerations, which vary depending on the individuals and their context. This commentary reflects on the motivations that drive occupational therapists to opt for private (for-profit) practice and the ethical implications.
