Abstract
The aim of this scoping review was to identify what current and potential opportunities exist for occupational therapy in primary healthcare for underserved populations. Search phrases were utilized across several databases and Occupational Therapy specific journals were hand searched. Nineteen articles met inclusion criteria: English, 2009-2021, services delivered by occupational therapy practitioners or supervised students, for underserved populations/individuals, in community-based care, and primary health care settings. Five synergistic themes emerged from the literature are discussed: Client-centered, team collaboration, holistic and preventative health and wellness, evidence-based program evaluation, and innovative service delivery.
