There is nothing here to change patient care.
What this paper is
This is a narrative review and program development report. It tells how USC and Peking University Health Science Center built a dual-degree occupational therapy master's program in China. It details curriculum design, faculty mentoring, fieldwork arrangements, and student feedback. It does not test a treatment or report patient outcomes, so there is no clinical finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that the program improves patient care. It reports program development and student feedback, not patient outcomes.
