Occupational therapists are allied health professionals who work with patients of all ages with varying types and severity of injuries or disabilities. They help their patients overcome the physical impairments that prevent them from performing activities/occupations of daily life. OTs evaluate and improve a patient’s functional abilities through a variety of treatment techniques and tools similar to physical therapists. Occupational therapy is a physically demanding job, but it can also be rewarding because of the tremendous difference OTs can make in patients’ lives. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth of 16% from 2019 to 2029 for OTs primarily due to an ever-growing aging population.

Occupational therapists may hold Basic Life Support (BLS) or AOTA - Pediatric (BCP), among others.

Having a AOTA - Physical Rehabilitation (BCPR) validates your knowledge and skills as a occupational therapist and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.

Occupational therapists may need a Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR) to improve their chance of getting hired or further their careers. Certain degrees may even be required before entering the field.
