ConclusionOccupational therapists should be actively involved in pre‐ and post‐transplantation goal setting and intervention to support return to work. Pre‐transplant, participation in any amount of voluntary or paid employment or study will maintain networks, skills, and confidence. Post‐transplant, while physician encouragement is known as a key predictor of return to work, occupational therapist support can address function and activity components of work participation.
