\u201cTogether, these areas address many of the daily factors that impact health and wellness,\u201d Smith said. Lifestyle medicine practitioners work with their patients to address health risks and support long-term behavior changes. They assess habits, set measurable goals, monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. \u201cOccupational therapy practitioners already play an important role in supporting health promotion and behavior change for optimal participation in daily activities,\u201d Smith said. \u201cAs healthcare continues to shift towards prevention, wellness and whole-person care, occupational therapists are perfectly positioned to help patients with chronic conditions improve their daily lives. This pathway is an opportunity for students to expand their training, pursue specialized education and help their patients turn evidence-based health recommendations into meaningful changes that improve their daily lives.\u201d <\/p>\n
