Abstract:
Occupational therapy, as one of the important subdisciplines of rehabilitation therapy, takes occupational activities as the medium or purpose of treatment and life participation as the goal of treatment to meet the growing demand for rehabilitation. According to the Minimum Standards for the Education of Occupational Therapists developed by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, many countries and regions have formulated educational standards that meet their own national or regional characteristics. Comparatively, the number of occupational therapists is seriously insufficient, the talents cultivation is relatively lagging behind, and the education level is uneven in mainland China; while in Hongkong and Taiwan, occupational therapy has an independent education system and a relatively mature talent training model. This study summarized the practical experience and reviewed the relevant literature. Based on the summary and review, we made a comparative analysis of postgraduate education in mainland China and Taiwan from the aspects of educational system and accreditation, enrollment objects, curriculum setting and teaching methods, which would provide a reference for the improvement of occupational therapy personnel training system in mainland China.
