Occupational Therapy & Diabetes Management

Welcome to my Udemy course with a primary focus on the role of occupational therapy in diabetes management.

Participants will explore the role of occupational therapy in diabetes care and self-management. This course was designed to provide diabetes-related information to occupational therapists, individuals with diabetes, and healthcare professionals in order to support and empower individuals with diabetes. At the end of this course, participants will develop a deeper understanding of diabetes and the important role occupational therapists can have through the diagnosis. By the completion of this course, healthcare professionals including occupational therapists will learn about the diagnosis and how they can be involved and support all individuals following a diabetes diagnosis. Individuals with diabetes can learn strategies to implement in their daily routines in order to support their journey with diabetes.

I completed my doctoral capstone project at Clarinda Regional Health Center, a rural hospital. I had the opportunity to work with an occupational therapist and a diabetes educator to determine the current challenges and interventions. From this, I was able to create educational handouts and advocate for OT in diabetes management. I look forward to sharing this information with you. I have created all the content and handouts based on research and clinical experience while completing my capstone.

Thank you for your interest in this course. Please send me a message for further questions or discussion on this topic. I hope you enjoy the course!
