Participants in this course will learn about occupational therapy’s role in ergonomics, injury prevention, and post-injury care within an industrial setting pertaining to my doctoral capstone experience and project. The course contains lectures, resources that were created throughout my capstone experience, and articles that support occupational therapy’s role within this are of practice. The resources that are included are downloadable to support learning and understanding of educational materials presented to the site. At the end of this presentation is a short quiz to ensure you understand the main objectives of this course. This course will take approximately 30 minutes to get through and to view the attached documents, however, you can pause and rewind at any time to check your understanding. This course was developed based on the most current research and literature, clinical experience, and evidence-based practice. At the end, there are several references that may supplement your learning on this topic.
I hope you enjoy this course and that it shines a light on a non-traditional and underrepresented area of practice within occupational therapy. Thank you again and enjoy the course!
