Rural and remote communities often have more limited health and care services. Part of this is due to the difficulty of recruiting and retaining health care professionals.  This study aims to learn from the experiences of occupational therapists practicing in northern BC in order to contribute to the planning and provision of better systems of professional support. The study examines various aspects of occupational therapy practice in the region, and various issues around recruitment, retention, and the skills and supports required to practice in rural and remote settings.
