On the question of ne-cessity of introducing the accreditation system of occupational therapy education programs, 89.7% responded that it was necessary. All respondents agreed that clinical fieldwork experience was necessary and the preferred length was 16, 24, and 12 weeks in order. The areas to be in-cluded in the accreditation were the number of qualified professors, fieldwork hours, and the contents of curricula in order. 77.4% of the sample responded that they would trust the result and process of the accreditation.
