      ab: As occupational therapists gain recognition for their work in primary care, it is important to explore the services they provide within these settings. A qualitative study was employed whereby six licensed occupational therapists within the United States were invited via email to engage in semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were analyzed individually by six researchers and as a team using consensus coding. Four themes emerged: "Primary Care Benefits", "Occupational Therapy Process and Distinct Value", "Primary Care Interventions", and "Complexities of Primary Care: Patient Conditions and Challenges." Occupational therapists described a range of benefits to being positioned within primary care. Problem solving around patient barriers, funding and logistical challenges are important considerations. Emphasizing 'occupation-based practice' and 'doing' within therapy are vital for occupational therapists who wish to advocate for their services and apply their distinct skill set within primary care settings.
