What is an entry level OT?

Entry level Occupational Therapists (OTs) are professionals who have recently completed their education and licensing requirements to practice occupational therapy. They typically work under supervision and focus on helping patients develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills through therapeutic activities. Entry level OTs assess patient needs, develop treatment plans, and assist clients in improving their ability to perform everyday tasks. They often work in settings such as hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, or nursing homes. As they gain experience, entry level OTs can take on more complex cases and greater responsibilities.
