Farming/ranching continuously ranks as one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States, however literature indicates current gaps in care between health professionals and farmers/ranchers. Typically, resulting from limited exposure and understanding of occupational demands on the farm/ranch. It has been suggested that increasing exposure, in educational curriculums for example, can be an effective first step. The purpose of this project is to increase awareness through educational opportunities in the classroom and/or continuing training courses used by health profession programs, individual rehabilitation facilities, or community programs. Based on the needs assessment, an initial presentation was developed and presented to four Indiana occupational therapy programs prior to design of an occupation specific course. Course effectiveness was measured through implementation of a modified lesson during general coursework in an occupational therapy program. Outcomes indicate presentations and curricular design to be effective in increasing feelings of competence of health professionals when working with farmers/ranchers. In turn, reducing gaps in care and promoting stronger therapeutic relationships. Further testing should be conducted to measure effectiveness of the designed course. Discussion will present the relationship between farming/ranching and rehabilitative services, description of the initial presentation, establishment of the Rehabilitation in Agriculture/Rural Communities Course, and outcomes, longevity, and limitations of the project.
