使命
The USC Chan Division has partnered with Peking University Health Science Center (PKUHSC) to develop a new dual-degree graduate program in occupational therapy, which welcomed its first class in Sept. 2019. Students in the USC-PKUHSC dual-degree program take two years of courses at PKUHSC to earn a master’s degree in rehabilitation therapy, and will then attend USC’s one-year post-professional doctorate of occupational therapy (OTD) program in Los Angeles.
南加州大学（南加大）陈学部已与北京大学医学部（北医）合作开设了一个作业治疗双学位研究生项目。该项目于 2019 年 9 月迎来了第一届学生。北医-南加大双学位项目的学生首先在北医进行两年的学习，获得康复治疗硕士学位，之后将在洛杉矶攻读南加大为期一年的作业治疗专业博士学位（OTD）。
The partnership promises to continue the educational evolution of occupational therapy in China, training a new generation of practitioners to provide high-quality clinical services to the estimated 85 million Chinese living with, or at risk for, a disability.
