A cross-training ergonomic exchange between the doctor of occupational therapy and dental students​


The curriculum committee of one dental program identified the need for proactive ergonomic training aimed at equipping their students with methods and techniques to minimize work-related musculoskeletal discomfort and disorders. Dental school programs can enhance curricula by integrating with occupational therapy educators and students to improve their ergonomics-related content. Occupational therapists trained in assessing and intervening in workplace musculoskeletal discomfort and injury represent a valuable resource for advancing ergonomic content in dental programs to improve professional practice.
