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.
