Occupational Health Nurse

Job Description An occupational therapist evaluates and treats people with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities to help them participate in the activities that matter most to them. The term occupation in this context doesnt just mean employment. It refers to all the meaningful activities that occupy a persons time, from self-care tasks like bathing and dressing to work responsibilities, hobbies, and social participation. Occupational therapists focus on the whole person. They dont just address physical limitations. They consider cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors that impact a persons ability to function independently.
