Gender Disparity in Occupational Therapy

The book highlights the gender disparities in health care professions, particularly in occupational therapy, and presents a solution through the proposed URePro (Undergraduate Recruitment Equality Program). This initiative aims to recruit more men into the field to achieve gender balance. Key literature and stakeholder feedback support the program's framework, emphasizing the importance of addressing contextual barriers to gender diversity. The discussion includes future implications for enhancing gender representation in occupational therapy, making URePro a vital step toward equity in the profession.
