Occupational therapy (OT) is recognized primarily for its role in the medical model, but what is often less known is the education and scope of occupational therapy practitioners to provide holistic interventions, including cognitive and psychosocial treatment. In addition, contextual evaluations of the home and community are essential to OT practice, ensuring safety and carryover from hospital environments. As a result, occupational therapy practitioners need to be more utilized members of the interdisciplinary team.
The purpose of this recorded, knowledge-based webinar is to provide education on the unique, systems-level healthcare lens that occupational therapy practitioners possess to support Veteran function, independence, and thriving. Occupational therapy’s concepts and scope address the critical role of social determinants of health in promoting access to, initiation of, and sustained participation in valued occupations within meaningful relationships and contexts. This training is appropriate for interprofessional healthcare teams.
