Occupational Therapist Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a occupational therapist in Maryland?
To practice as an occupational therapist in Maryland, you must hold an active license from the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice. That requires graduating from an accredited master's or doctoral OT program, completing the required supervised fieldwork hours, and passing the NBCOT certification examination. Once licensed, you renew every two years and must complete continuing education units as specified by the Board.
How much do occupational therapists make in Maryland?
Occupational therapists in Maryland earn a median of about $106,980 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,650 for the lowest 10% to over $132,300 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire occupational therapists in Maryland?
Maryland occupational therapist roles are posted by Strides Therapy & Educational Services, Voyage Health, and FOX Rehabilitation and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Maryland's concentration of large academic medical centers, regional rehabilitation networks, and pediatric specialty hospitals means consistent hiring across inpatient, outpatient, and home health settings throughout the state.
Which Maryland cities have the most occupational therapist jobs?
Baltimore, Westminster, and Columbia lead Maryland for occupational therapist openings right now. Baltimore anchors the market thanks to its cluster of academic medical centers and rehabilitation facilities, while the suburban Washington D.C. corridor, including cities like Silver Spring and Rockville, generates strong demand from both hospital systems and private outpatient clinics serving dense residential communities.
Are there remote occupational therapist jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. Occupational therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical profession, so the large majority of positions require in-person patient care. About 10% of occupational therapist openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be in care coordination, telehealth follow-up consultations, or program management roles rather than direct treatment.
How can I get hired as a occupational therapist in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate positions within large Maryland health systems, which regularly onboard entry-level OTs and pair them with experienced clinical mentors. Johns Hopkins Health System and University of Maryland Medical System both offer structured new-graduate and residency programs in specialty areas. Completing Level II fieldwork rotations at Maryland facilities is a practical advantage, and holding an active NBCOT certification before your Maryland license arrives makes you immediately competitive for these roles.
Where can I find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Maryland?
You can find and apply to occupational therapist jobs in Maryland on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maryland openings across health systems, outpatient clinics, schools, and home health agencies.
