Topic: Professional competence in occupational therapy

摘要

Dear Professor Gustafsson: The recently published article by Plastow and Bester (2020), identifying 10 specific personal attributes embedded in curricula, suggests that occupational science (OS) is unconsciously informing curriculum development as these attributes are components of "professional identity" (Ennals et al., 2016). We believe that OS needs to be a more conscious driver of curriculum design; guiding the formation of students and informing the scope and sequence of learning activities.
