Entry Level Occupational Therapist Hand Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level occupational therapist hand therapist job?

Start by completing your fieldwork hours in hand therapy or orthopedic settings and pursuing the Certified Hand Therapist credential once eligible. Highlight any clinical rotations, splinting experience, or exposure to post-surgical rehabilitation in your resume. Entry level employers at this stage prioritize hands-on clinical training, strong communication skills, and a willingness to work alongside experienced therapists while building your caseload competency.

At this level, hiring tends to come from outpatient orthopedic clinics, hospital rehabilitation departments, and hand therapy specialty practices that are willing to mentor new graduates through their early caseloads.

About 0% of entry level occupational therapist hand therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve telehealth consultations, documentation support, or home exercise program coordination rather than direct manual treatment.
