The total practice education is multi-level and diversified including three stages, so that the students' clinical reasoning and practical skills improved gradually.

Practice education I is in courses, the students go to the labs, clinical departments, rehabilitation centers and so on.

 Practice education II (2~6 semesters) includes clinical education, social practice, volunteer activities and overseas clinical education. The contents of the clinical education corresponds to the courses taken in the semesters, including core professional courses, which is a total of 80 class hours. The students participate the geriatric OT social practices, “bring scientific and literacy knowledge and offer medical service to rural areas” or pediatric volunteer activities every year, lasting 160 class hours in total. What’s more, the students can choose Creighton University, Chung Shan Medical University, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and their medical facilities for practices according to their own conditions, so as to expand international horizons.

Practice education III (6~8 semesters) lasts 1600 class hours, common systemic diseases as the main line. A rotation system is formulated to ensure the service objects are disparate and diverse. The service scopes include hospitals, communities, home and working places. According to "student-centered" concept, students can choose their own practice bases after acknowledging the characteristics of the practice bases.

According to "student-centered" concept, students can choose a general hospital as one of their own practice bases after acknowledging the characteristics. In the special hospitals, the students study OT clinical practice in pediatric and adolescent conditions (8 weeks) in the Guangzhou Women and Children's Center, and OT clinical practice in psychosocial dysfunction (4 weeks) in the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (a psychiatric hospital). Besides, the students participate the OT clinical practice in community and geriatric (2 weeks) in Community center called the Nursing Home of Huangpu District, Guangzhou. The rotation system is formulated to ensure the service objects are disparate and diverse. The service scopes include hospitals, communities, home and working places.

Besides, students experience clinical practice in rehabilitation medicine (1 week), basics of physiotherapy (4weeks), language and swallowing therapy (4 weeks), Chinese traditional rehabilitation (2 weeks) in order to improve their competency suited to local situations.

7.Practice education site

Clinical practice is primary factor of OT Programme. The university attaches great importance to the construction of practical teaching platform and constantly improves the teaching conditions. More than 10 million RMB has been invested in the construction of rehabilitation teaching platform, and the 905 cm2 provincial experimental teaching demonstration center has been built with 18 million RMB of equipment. The institute has built a high-level clinical training unit in Guangzhou, a unit of Pediatric Cerebral Palsy Special Disease Management Alliance and a school-enterprise cooperation education project in Guangdong Province. Relying on the practical teaching platform of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, the university has established Guangzhou Medical Key Discipline, Guangzhou High-level Key Specialty Cultivation Unit and Guangzhou Rehabilitation Medicine Quality Control Center.

The experimental teaching center is fully open to students. At present, there are more than 700 class hours of experimental courses and more than 100 experimental projects every year.

The clinical practice teaching relies on the affiliated hospitals and the high-quality practice teaching bases with teachers' talents that meet the requirements of

international certification all over the country, and constructs a huge clinical teaching base system with abundant clinical teaching resources, which provides a solid guarantee for the apprenticeship and practice teaching of students majoring in rehabilitation therapy.

The OT programme relies on the affiliated hospitals of the university and the high-quality practice education sites with teachers that meet the requirements of international certification all over the country, and build a huge clinical teaching base system with abundant clinical teaching resources, which provides enough practice opportunities for students and a solid guarantee for the students in OT programme. Currently, there are 13 sites that undertake OT’s practice education III, including the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (a psychiatric hospital), Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University , The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Yangzhi Affiliated Rehabilitation Hospital of Tongji University, Community Health care Center of Dasha Street and Huangpu district nursing home. Each site is a large comprehensive tertiary class A hospital or a large tertiary rehabilitation center, which can provide sufficient practical opportunities for students' internship, and has a team of experienced clinical teachers to guarantee the clinical teaching of rehabilitation.

8.Innovation and personality development platform

The school actively carries out cooperation in running schools, established a teaching cooperation and communication platform with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Chung Shan Medical University to promote occupational therapy education. In recent years, OT teachers have been sent to universities in the United States for visiting study and degree study; students were sent for short-term exchange and study abroad. Students' practice or communication abroad can be converted into corresponding credits of GMU.
