Objective To explore reform measures for the cultivation plan of the master's program in rehabilitation therapy with occupational therapy track at Peking University Health Science Center (PKUHSC), focusing on program duration, degree type, curriculum, clinical training, and teaching methods, aiming to enhance the program's teaching quality and provide practical guidance for cultivating high-level rehabilitation therapy professionals in China. Methods The Delphi method was employed from March to April, 2025 to conduct two rounds of questionnaire consultations among 21 experts in rehabilitation therapy education across 7 provinces and municipalities. Through statistical analysis of the coordination and concentration degrees of expert opinions, specific reform recommendations were refined. Results The response rates for the two rounds of expert consultation were 100.0% and 95.2%, respectively, with expert authority coefficients of 0.87 and 0.92. Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) values were 0.128 and 0.155 (all P<0.001). A total of 38 expert opinions were collected, leading to the formulation of 30 specific reform measures across 6 domains, including program's enrollment, duration and degree type, curriculum outline, clinical practice education, teaching methods, and teaching resource support. Conclusions The reform measures for the master's program in rehabilitation therapy with occupational therapy track encompass the localization of course content, diversification of clinical education, student-centered teaching methods and bilingual training, adjustments to program duration and specialization track, and enhancement of teaching resources, which demonstrate scientific validity and reliability, offering a basis for optimizing PKUHSC's rehabilitation therapy master's program and providing a reference for advancing high-level rehabilitation therapy education in China.
