Description

As an occupational therapist at Yuba, you will support children, adolescents, and adults in leading as independent a life as possible - in everyday life, at work, and in leisure time.

This includes teaching stroke patients techniques to dress themselves despite paralysis, or helping wheelchair users with training to move more safely.

In work therapy, you use specific exercises to help people with intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses readjust to structured daily routines.

While you work closely with doctors and other therapists, you also have a high level of independence and responsibility.

To help your patients manage their daily lives without outside assistance, you will create an individualized therapy plan with them and implement it.

Throughout this process, you will always consider the whole person and their personal life situation.

You will apply your knowledge in practical settings from the beginning. In our specially equipped practice rooms, you will practice treatment techniques.

You will also have the opportunity to gain real-world experience in medical and social facilities during your internships, where you will apply what you have learned to real patients.

Additionally, you will gain insight into different fields of work and make valuable contacts for your future career.

Your job prospects are promising. As an occupational therapist, you will be in demand in various areas.
