As a travel occupational therapist (OT), you provide occupational therapy services to a patient in their home or a health care facility as part of their treatment plan. Your responsibilities include offering various physical or occupational therapy services designed to help a patient with a physical or mental disability complete necessary daily tasks, like bathing, eating, and socializing. You carry out your duties wherever your patients need you, so you might travel between several homes or facilities each day. As a travel OT, you can work on a contract basis or find employment through physical and occupational therapy centers, medical offices and facilities, or hospitals.
