A 5-month expert consensus study from April to August 2024 derived updated job competencies for Korean occupational therapists. The work involved a 3-round online Delphi survey with 20 experts and a focus group meeting with 10 experts to refine and validate the competencies. The dataset was created by Byoung Gin Jeon and hosted on Jeehp Dataverse.
