Occupational Therapist resume example
A strong occupational therapist summary reads like this. Swap in your own numbers and settings:
Occupational therapist with seven years across skilled nursing and home health. I carry a daily caseload of 8 to 10 patients and document in Net Health. My focus is ADL retraining and safe discharge planning, and my Medicare documentation is clean. OTR/L with current BLS.
Skills recruiters search for
These are the terms recruiters and ATS filters look for on a occupational therapist resume. Use the ones that are true for you:
How to list your credentials
List your state OT license and your NBCOT credential together, the way OTR/L shows both. Add any certifications after, each with its expiration date.
Resume tips for occupational therapists
- Put your setting in the first line. SNF, home health, schools, and outpatient all hire differently.
- Give a caseload number. 'Daily caseload of 9 patients' reads stronger than 'managed a busy caseload.'
- Call out Medicare and OASIS documentation if you have it. Home health managers screen for it by name.
- List your EMR systems. Net Health or Casamba on the page matches what the ATS searches for.
- If you split settings, give each its own entry with dates. One blended entry hides experience managers want to see.
