Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine how occupational therapy education programmes approved by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) are utilising, implementing and evaluating competency-based education (CBE). The survey was distributed to a sample of 645 participants using the WFOT distribution process. A total of 67 respondents completed the survey. The results indicated that programmes are using WFOT and their country-specific competencies to guide their curriculum and that some programmes are in transition to a competency-based model of education. However, a number of barriers were identified, which impact the uptake and implementation of CBE that include resource intensity, specificity of some competencies to individuals and culture, and lack of understanding of CBE. This paper provides recommendations for further research and actions.
