Few research articles have addressed the anatomical needs of entry-level occupational therapy students. Given this paucity of empirical evidence, there is a lack of knowledge regarding anatomical education in occupational therapy. This article will primarily serve as a retrospective look at the inclusion of anatomical education in the occupational therapy curriculum. Focusing on the historical inclusion is the first step to address the gap in existing knowledge. Examining the history of anatomy in occupational therapy provides an educational context for curricular developments and helps current anatomical educators understand the evolution of occupational therapy as a profession. Exploring the educational history also offers anatomy educators an identity, as significant contributors, in the training and preparedness of entry-level professionals while focusing on the ideals of occupational therapy. However, there is a critical need for empirical evidence of best teaching practices in occupational therapy and anatomical education. This manuscript provides a foundation and a starting point for further investigation into the anatomical competencies for entry-level occupational therapists.
几乎没有研究文章涉及入门级职业治疗学生的解剖学需求。鉴于这种经验证据的缺乏，关于职业治疗中的解剖学教育的知识也很匮乏。本文主要回顾职业治疗课程中解剖学教育的纳入情况。关注历史上的纳入情况是解决现有知识差距的第一步。研究职业治疗中的解剖学史为课程发展提供了教育背景，并帮助当前的解剖学教育者了解职业治疗作为一门专业的演变。探索教育史还为解剖学教育者提供了一个身份，作为重要的贡献者，关注职业治疗的理想，为入门级专业人员的培训和准备做出贡献。然而，职业治疗和解剖学教育中最佳教学实践的实证证据非常重要。本文为进一步调查入门级职业治疗师的解剖学能力提供了基础和起点。
