An occupational therapist typically works 40 hours in a week, but their schedule often depends on where they work. Some occupational therapists work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day while others work 40 hours on a flexible schedule. They may work part time and be on call to come in when their employer needs them.
How many days a week does an occupational therapist work?
A patient’s occupational therapy treatment often consists of meeting with his or her therapist three to five days a week, for one to four weeks (sometimes more, as dictated by a patient’s needs and progress). An OT’s day ends — as many healthcare professionals’ days end — with paperwork.
Do occupational therapists work overnight?
Most occupational therapists work full time. They may work nights or weekends, as needed, to accommodate patients’ schedules.
