Subject outline
In this subject, learners will shift their view beyond the occupational challenges facing individuals, to consider the ways in which occupational therapists enable social change at the level of the community, population and organisation. Learners will focus on gaining knowledge and skills required for their impending role as health practitioners in a rapidly changing health and social context. The subject is comprised of three key themes: prevention and health promotion, project management and contemporary practice issues. Learners will apply, critique and reflect upon major subject themes through the conduct of a substantial organisational project.
