Abstract

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 personally as occupational therapy practitioners. Such experiences can drastically broaden students’ and practitioners’ understanding of occupation and client-centered care and strengthen cultural effectiveness—skills needed now more than ever. International Occupational Therapy covers all aspects of learning or working abroad, from situating occupation in cultural contexts to developing partnerships to practical travel considerations. Focused on best practices in population or public health models, this text guides readers to ensure that their work abroad addresses community concerns, contributing to sustainable health and well-being.
