Course description
This course focuses on principles of community development, health promotion, health policy & occupational justice issues at global, community, societal, & systems levels. It engages students with seeing themselves as global citizens & health care professionals with citizenship responsibilities in relation to advocacy, justice & systems reform. It will engage students with a global occupational therapy community through the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, & develop in them an awareness of policies of the United Nations & World Health Organisation. In addition to global issues, issues of national & local significance will be addressed relevant to enabling people to participate fully in their life and occupational roles.
