Supervise students and help shape the future of OT
-
Ensure accurate coding and billing that reflects the care you provide
What Makes This Role Different

No grind mentality – Patient care > chasing productivity numbers

Mission-driven work – You’re part of something bigger than a clinic
What We’re Looking For
You’ll thrive here if you:

Care about helping people get back to real life, not just finish exercises
