CEU Course Description

Occupational therapists are client-centered providers and have strong backgrounds in human development, health management, chronic disease maintenance, mental health, and more. This places our profession in an ideal spot to serve as consultants in primary care settings such as doctors’ offices, community health centers, and urgent care clinics. OTs can also support physicians who make house calls for homebound patients and potentially even primary care doctors who visit their institutionalized patients in need of oversight. Occupational therapists serving as primary care team members can assist both patients and overwhelmed primary care providers. By involving OTs in the provision of primary care services, individuals are more likely to receive quality care during both routine and illness-related visits, experience improved health outcomes, and decrease expenditure, as well as service utilization.
