Build the foundation for a rewarding career

Occupational therapists (OTs) help people of all ages overcome physical, emotional, or cognitive challenges to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. OTs empower individuals to regain or develop the skills they need to thrive. Their work is critical in bridging the gap between health limitations and practical life, enabling patients to rebuild their confidence, maintain a sense of purpose, and improve their overall quality of life.
