Graduates in Occupational Therapy become highly specialized professionals, ready to assist and rehabilitate individuals with physical, cognitive and psychological disabilities, contributing to their well-being and autonomy in daily activities. One of the main outlets is represented by healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes. Here, graduates work closely with physicians, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals to plan and implement personalized rehabilitation programmes designed to improve patients' motor, cognitive, and functional conditions.
There are also employment opportunities in specialized rehabilitation and therapy centers, where graduates use different therapeutic techniques and methodologies to promote the recovery and autonomy of individuals with disabilities. For those interested in coordination and management roles, there are opportunities to work in rehabilitation facilities as a rehabilitation manager to supervise treatment programmes, train staff and ensure the quality of the services provided.
Finally, many graduates choose to pursue careers as freelancers, offering counseling and Occupational Therapy services independently. In this capacity, they collaborate with other professionals and institutions to ensure high-quality, personalized interventions, responding to the specific needs of their clients and patients.
