A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to occupational science

Occupational science is the study of human occupation – the activities people engage in to make sense of life. The core ideas are the definition of occupation, the role of context, and the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Mastering these concepts is essential because exam questions often ask for definitions, relationships between occupation and health, and the scope of occupational science.
