Occupational therapy is ever evolving. As a holistic profession, we are not only responsible for staying abreast of changes in healthcare, but also of changes in the social and organizational spheres that impact our clients. To ensure that practitioners working towards a professional certificate have the benefit of information that will ground required course content, we have created the Essentials course series.
When starting your professional certificate or micro credential journey, it is recommended that you begin with the required Essentials courses. However, there is no required order of completion if you prefer to take them after starting your work toward the required micro credentials.
Please remember that the three Essentials courses only need to be taken one time for each professional certificate. They must be completed prior to obtaining any of the micro credentials or taking the integration course for the professional certificate.
The Essentials courses required for the Home and Community Safety and Driving Professional Certificate and/or the three associated micro credentials are as follows and included in this bundle:
Essentials Courses:
· Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention in Mental Health
· Introduction to Functional Cognition
· Population Health: Discovering New Opportunities
If you have already purchased any of the individual Essentials courses, please do not purchase this bundle. All courses can be purchased separately.
