Abstract:
With the increasing demand for rehabilitation medical care, medical education has taken on the important mission of cultivating high-quality rehabilitation talents for "Healthy China", and it is necessary to make attempts to explore the reform of rehabilitation majors in line with social needs and develop a professional layout that fits better with social needs. After more than 20 years of development, a certain scale has been formed for the establishment of rehabilitation majors, but the analysis of related data has revealed the problems such as mismatch of professional disciplines, mixed attributes of professional institutions, and unstable quality of talent training. Based on the setting of rehabilitation majors in the catalogues of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities adjusted and promulgated in 1998, 2012, and 2020 and the addition of majors in different types of colleges and universities in each catalogue, this article summarizes the rules, trends, and characteristics of the development of rehabilitation majors in higher education institutions in China and discusses the current status and existing problems of such majors, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the optimization and adjustment of rehabilitation majors in China.
