Min Ji Song

Prior to beginning the PhD program in Occupational Science, I completed a Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy and a Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. As an occupational therapy practitioner, my practice area was in hand therapy, working with individuals with upper extremity injuries and conditions. My academic and professional experiences have shaped my research interests in occupational science.

My research interests primarily focus on the integration of emerging or smart technologies for the assessment, prevention, rehabilitation, and management of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the upper extremity in the working adult population. My interests center around understanding how the use of emerging technologies can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of practices related to work-related musculoskeletal disorders, thereby optimizing individuals’ potential to live meaningful, productive, and fulfilling lives as occupational beings.
