Abstract
The purpose of this study is to survey the occupational therapists's vocational core competency. Study subjects were 138 occupational therapists and 95 students majored occupational therapy and they participated in the survey about the vocational core ability to confirm the factors about the vocational core ability. As the results of these, both occupational therapists and university students majored occupational therapy felt the need for vocational ability and communication skills, interpersonal relationship skills, and problem-solving skills were found to be important, and that they also possessed them. However, only in the group of students majored occupational therapy showed that technical skills were important, but they did not possess the most. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider a curriculum that can collect knowledge and information on various skills necessary for actual vocational performance as the occupational therapist.
