Additional Information

Career
Upon completion of an accredited educational program and earning a master’s degree or entry-level clinical doctorate degree in occupational therapy, graduates are required to successfully pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) examination. After successfully passing the exam, students will receive the designation of OTR: occupational therapist, registered

In most states, practitioners must hold a current license or limited permit in order to work. Typically, therapists must fulfill continuing education requirements in order to maintain certification and/or licensure.

Employment of occupational therapists is expected to increase by 18% between 2018 and 2028, much faster than the average occupation according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

About half of occupational therapists work in offices of occupational therapy or in hospitals. Others work in schools, nursing homes and home health services. Additional opportunities include consultation to industry, community settings, teaching and research. The salary of an occupational therapist varies based upon geographic location, years of experience and type of employment. The 2019 median annual salary for an occupational therapist was $84,950, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
