Learn About What It Takes to be an Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapists help patients improve their ability to perform daily functions and tasks. Working with individuals who suffer from mental, physical, developmental, or emotionally-disabling conditions, occupational therapists use treatments that improve patients' basic motor functions and reasoning abilities to help them achieve more independence and improved quality of life. Some occupational therapists choose to advance their careers by specializing in a specific area such as gerontology, mental health, pediatrics or physical rehabilitation. Others advance by teaching in accredited occupational therapy educational programs. To work as a Platinum Select occupational therapist, a master's degree in occupational therapy is required. Eligible occupational therapists must also pass the required national certification exam prior to applying to Platinum Select.
