Leadership and Advocacy

Catalog description

Students consider the role of the occupational therapist as a leader. Management and collaboration with others, including occupational therapy assistants, are emphasized with an overview of issues related to administration and leadership in varied settings and roles in which occupational therapists practice. Students use knowledge gained in this course to become active leaders and advocates of occupational therapy services in traditional and emerging practice areas. Research and evidence are intentionally integrated from other professions to highlight the similarity of concerns and approaches to management issues across disciplines.
