What it covers

In this unit, you will begin to shift your view beyond the occupational challenges facing individuals, to consider the ways in which the occupations and health and wellbeing of populations may be impacted by social, political and organisational factors. You will apply a population-level conceptualisation whilst identifying the occupational impact to case-based scenarios in which advanced clinical reasoning and intervention skills are required to best respond to the needs and wishes of populations experiencing complex health and social problems. The cases chosen highlight the multiple approaches within vulnerable populations that are appropriate in successfully delivering population-level occupational interventions. Within this unit you will also complete a learning module “Allies in Indigenous Health 2” to develop and strengthen skills in anti-racist practice and collaborative care when working with Indigenous peoples.
