The exciting job of occupational therapy

The job of an occupational therapist is to treat and support disorders of the mind, body and occupational functions so that people can carry out various tasks in their daily and social lives (activities and daily activities that are important for each individual to live) in a way that suits them. We train occupational therapists who can cooperate and collaborate with multiple professions, contribute to health issues in the local community from the perspective of medical care and health, and research and study to improve the quality of medical care and health care throughout their lives while keeping in mind the progress of globalization, and contribute to its development.
