Convergence of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy: Updates on OTJR's Occupational Science Section.

Abstract

Established in 2019, OTJR's Occupational Science Section provides a dedicated venue for showcasing empirical occupational science research and fostering translation of that research into occupational therapy practices. In this invited commentary, the first and second Associate Editors of the Occupational Science Section reflect on its early growth, connecting the foci of the Occupational Science Section to topics discussed at selected occupational science and occupational therapy conferences in 2022. The commentary concludes with a discussion of future possibilities for the Occupational Science Section as it moves forward.
