In response to the increasing trend toward community health care, a model of training that prepares students for community practice was incorporated into the occupational therapy curriculum at the University of Southern California. During academic training students are placed in a part-time community assignment where no occupational therapy services are offered. Training students for the role of community health specialist produces a dilemma for curriculum design. A balance must be achieved between providing traditional clinical content and providing the knowledge and expertise necessary for community practice. However, this training is considered necessary for maintaining the viability of the profession in a changing health system. Significantly, during the four-year period using this model, many graduates have sought employment in "nontraditional" community roles.
为应对社区医疗保健日益增长的趋势，南加州大学将一种为学生社区实践做准备的培训模式纳入了职业治疗课程。在学术培训期间，学生会被安排到一个不提供职业治疗服务的兼职社区任务中。为社区健康专家的角色培训学生给课程设计带来了一个两难问题。必须在提供传统临床内容与提供社区实践所需的知识和专业技能之间取得平衡。然而，这种培训被认为对于在不断变化的医疗体系中维持该专业的生存能力是必要的。值得注意的是，在使用该模式的四年期间，许多毕业生都在寻求“非传统”的社区岗位就业。
