What It's Like In This Role

You'll split your time between direct patient care and documentation. Most OTAs work closely with one or two therapists as part of a broader rehab team. Expect to use electronic health record systems daily to log notes. The schedule is structured but no two patients are the same, so your problem solving skills get a workout every day.

Why You'll Like This Opportunity

The field offers real stability and multiple paths to grow your career. You might work with children one year and transition to geriatric care the next. There's always something new to learn about different conditions and adaptive techniques. Seeing a client master a task they struggled with never gets old; it’s the core of why people do this work.

Schedule & Work Type
