Course overview
In this course, students will shift their view beyond the occupational challenges facing individuals, to consider the ways in which occupational therapists work as part of small teams to enable change at the level of the service, organisation, community, or population. Students will focus on gaining knowledge and skills required for team project work, and for their impending role as health practitioners in a rapidly changing health and social policy context. The course is comprised of team project management and preparation for contemporary practice.
