The Occupational Therapy process according to AOTA is the delivery of services in our profession, so there is a clear need for constant improvement of the steps that make up this structure. For this, it is essential to experience this theoretical and practical process in supervised internships, where, above all, it clarifies our professional identity. Occupational therapists are involved with clinical reasoning, where they combine assessments, analysis of activity and occupations, defining a problem to be solved and, finally, planning and executing your care plan. There is no process that is not in symbiosis with theory, as this structure occurs within the domain of occupational therapy, intrinsic to its formation, from elements of the person to contextual and environmental aspects. This study contemplates the occupational therapeutic process in the hospital context, in the current challenge of the public health crisis that was experienced in the COVID-19 pandemic and what is the individual impact through the presentation of an experience report of a clinical case of an experienced, supervised internship and guided by the Occupational Therapy course at the Federal University of Paraná, which took place in a general hospital in the city of Curitiba - PR. This clinical case demonstrates that an outlined occupational therapeutic process brings security to academic training, such as professional recognition, the demonstration of evidence of the results achieved, above all, in the recovery of the person's occupational performance.
