OT Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ot in Maryland?
To work as an ot in Maryland, you must hold a license issued by the Maryland Board of Occupational Therapy Practice. That requires completing an accredited master's or doctoral program in occupational therapy, passing the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy examination, and submitting a licensure application to the Board. Maryland does not participate in the OT compact, so out-of-state practitioners must apply directly for a Maryland license before practicing.
Which companies hire ots in Maryland?
Employers hiring ots in Maryland right now include Ultimate Therapy, Adventist HealthCare, and Powerback Rehabilitation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Maryland's concentration of academic medical centers, pediatric specialty hospitals, and large skilled nursing networks means hiring activity is fairly consistent across the state throughout the year.
Which Maryland cities have the most ot jobs?
The Maryland cities with the most ot openings are Baltimore, Rockville, and Silver Spring. Baltimore anchors the market because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers and rehabilitation facilities, while the Washington D.C. suburban counties draw demand from large outpatient networks and pediatric practices that serve the region's sizable family population.
Are there remote ot jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. Because occupational therapy is fundamentally a hands-on clinical role, the large majority of positions require in-person patient contact. About 19% of ot openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to be limited to telehealth evaluations, home program consultations, or supervisory and education positions rather than direct treatment.
How can I get hired as a ot in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a fieldwork placement or new-graduate position at a large Maryland health system such as Johns Hopkins or the University of Maryland Medical System, both of which regularly onboard new graduates into structured clinical orientation programs. Targeting pediatric settings at Kennedy Krieger Institute or school-based contracts through Maryland county school systems can also open the door for candidates without acute care experience. Completing your supervised fieldwork hours in Maryland and obtaining your state license immediately after the certification exam gives you a clear competitive advantage over candidates still awaiting licensure.
Where can I find and apply to ot jobs in Maryland?
You can find and apply to ot jobs in Maryland on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maryland openings across hospital systems, outpatient clinics, schools, and long-term care facilities. Find the roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
