Occupational Therapist

Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists aid individuals of varying ages with limited abilities in establishing, developing, and/or maintaining their capacity to carry out daily functions and tasks.

Through individualized therapy sessions, they collaborate closely with patients to address their unique needs, aiming to enhance their quality of life and foster a sense of independence.

Occupational therapy encompasses the enhancement of physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects contributing to patients' disabilities.

Typically, occupational therapist roles are found in nursing care facilities, hospitals, and private occupational therapy practices.

Given the demanding nature of the job, both physically and emotionally, occupational therapists are ideally in good health.

Occupational therapist positions are available across different experience levels and settings. A master's degree is typically the minimum requirement for entry into the field. Additionally, eligible applicants must pass the mandated national certification exam. Further education and certifications may facilitate access to specialized and advanced roles.
