Half of occupational therapy clients do not take their medications as prescribed, which results in worse health and function. Occupational therapy practitioners work with the interdisciplinary team across settings to support their clients in developing safe and effective medication routines.

This live online course will introduce occupational therapy practitioners to the important area of medication management and adherence.  OTs, OTAs and students will learn foundational knowledge that will be the foundation for subsequent webinars that will equip learners to better support their clients in engaging in the occupation of medication management. The person, environment, and occupation-factors affecting performance of medication management will be discussed.

Target Audience: Occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, occupational therapy students.

This occupational therapy continuing education course uses the following instructional methods: visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning, and practice opportunities.
Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.
