Career of the Month: Occupational Therapist

[Image removed by sender.]
Occupational therapists work with patients with mental, physical, developmental, or emotional disabilities. They help these patients develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. Occupational therapists are skilled in the social, emotional, and physical effects of an illness, injury, or disability. They may plan treatment programs and teach patients how to use adaptive equipment. Occupational therapists will work with doctors, nurses, and occupational therapy assistants to treat patients of all ages. Some of the common tasks and duties include evaluating patients and determining goals for treatment, re-evaluating patients to ensure goals are met, and adjusting treatment plans to reflect changes in ability.

In order to become an occupational therapist, you need to obtain a bachelor's degree typically in biology, psychology, kinesiology or a health science major as prerequisite courses are required for admission to graduate school. Then, you need to complete a Master's degree program in occupational therapy. After completing your graduate-level occupational therapy program, you must pass the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam in order to become certified. Lastly, Occupational therapists are required to complete continuing education credits each year to keep their license active. The job growth in Occupational Therapy is expected to grow by 17% from 2020 to 2030.
