In an increasingly global society, occupational therapy students and practitioners are learning and practicing in multicultural, often politically-charged scenarios in which cultural effectives, broad perspective, self-awareness, and client-centeredness are more critical to high-quality care than ever. International occupational therapy experiences provide immeasurable opportunities for students, practitioners, and faculty to better understand how culture affects occupation, collaborate in mutually beneficial endeavors, promote the profession, and grow in personal character as occupational therapy practitioner.

With practical advice and thoughtful explorations of the meaning of culture, International Occupational Therapy focuses on best practices in population or public models, which reflects the occupational therapy profession’s shift. This text guides readers to use their international occupational therapy experiences and learning in ways that will contribute to screening, prevention, and population concerns across practice areas.
