Abstract
This article Is the first of two contributions looking at the under-representation of people from the United Kingdom's minority ethnic groups in the occupational therapy profession. These articles suggest three broad areas that should concern occupational therapy practitioners and educators: the recruitment of people from minority ethnic groups to the profession; the admission process to occupational therapy education and training courses; and the curriculum and ethos of those courses. Part 1 deals with the first two concerns and part 2 will address Issues of course curriculum and the support that may be required for students from minority ethnic groups. The authors strongly advocate that these three issues cannot be treated in Isolation but must be dealt with simultaneously.
