Occupational Therapist Interview Questions 

An occupational therapist is a healthcare professional who employs therapeutic strategies to help patients improve, recover, or maintain their capacity to do daily tasks. 

An occupational therapist will examine the patient’s vital tasks and teach them how to regain their independence after surgery so that they can continue the responsibilities that define who they are.
