The demand for occupational therapists is increasing in the hope of providing a better health care system for the public. PolyU offers professional training in occupational therapy. In my first year, I gained knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, OT theory and processes, psychology and research methods. I acquired fundamental knowledge of OT, especially how to develop a therapeutic relationship with patients. In the functional anatomy lessons, I learned how to palpate important bony landmarks, which is fundamental for treatment.

The programme also offers many opportunities, including exchange trips and hospital visits, which helped me to familiarise myself with real clinical settings and occupational therapy programmes in other countries. I observed an occupational therapist's case with the family of a patient, a 5-year-old girl with autism. This gave me a better understanding of the OT process.

在理工大学就读职业治疗的这一年时间，我不但学到复康科学中的基础知识，更对职业治疗这一专业有了更深理解。我明白到身为一名称职的治疗师，不但需要掌握职业治疗中的专业知识和技巧，更要理解、承担作为医护应有的道义和责任，而在理工大学的课程中，这些学习的面向亦有好好地涵盖。在这首年的课程中，学生能够从中掌握职业治疗师的手法、理论以及目标，而为未来在协助病人复康回归生活上打好重要基础。我衷心庆幸自己选择职业治疗这一学科，因为这学科不单单包括专业的理论和知识，更令学生有更广阔的视野，贡献社会，充实自己和他人的人生。
