An occupational therapist works closely with physicians and other health-care providers in creating rehabilitation plans for patients, amongst other things. The patients could be in the hospital after a stroke or recuperating at home following a motor vehicle accident. It’s an exciting field that people generally know little about.

The training overlaps with medicine in much of what is learned and trained, and there is a strong collaboration with doctors and other health-care providers on many levels. While many occupational therapists work in a hospital, or other health-care facility, they could certainly work independently in an office environment, the function being somewhat similar to any other medical office.
