Occupational therapy practitioners hold a unique skill set that can provide value in a variety of settings beyond clinical care. This panel discussion will explore the experiences of six occupational therapy practitioners working in non-traditional roles. The aim of this presentation is to explore how the panelists have used their OT skill set to develop a career in a non-traditional setting, how they are reimbursed, and the successes and challenges faced in their careers.
