An independent t-test was conducted to compare the perception and needs according to gender. In addition, a one-way ANOVA test was conducted to compare the differences according to general characteristics, and the post-analysis was analyzed by the Scheffé test. Results : The perception of continuing education averaged 2.53, needs for continuing education was 3.24. Areas with a large difference in perception and needs were the community area and the mental health area, and areas with a small difference were the humanities area and the physical disability area.

The reason for completing continuing education was 'to acquire credits' and 'to use in the current job', the needs for non-face-to-face education was higher than that of face-to-face education, and case study and lecture methods were required. Conclusion : For the development of continuing education for occupational therapist, it is necessary to develop various continuing education programs and to reflect the needs of occupational therapist.
