This presentation will focus on the role of entry level occupational therapy programs and practitioners educating students in maternal health. As this emerging practice area continues to grow, more OTPs will need to be prepared to treat the mother-infant dyad throughout the perinatal period. The presenter will also share experience with developing and teaching an elective course for entry level students.
