Frequently asked questions
Gilbert, AZ sees a steady demand for Licensed Occupational Therapists, though Scottsdale and Tempe often have more openings due to larger healthcare facilities. Job seekers may find slightly less competition in Gilbert but should prepare for regional salary variations and licensure reciprocity within Arizona.
Besides a valid Arizona state occupational therapy license, certifications in neurological rehabilitation or brain injury therapy can enhance your profile. Hospitals in Scottsdale and Gilbert prioritize therapists with BLS certification and specialized training aligned with inpatient rehabilitation care.
Licensed Occupational Therapists independently evaluate patients and develop tailored treatment plans, often supervising assistants. In contrast, assistants focus on executing therapy activities under direction. Therapists also educate families and collaborate on multidisciplinary care, emphasizing clinical judgment and program design.
Many therapists leverage Select Medical’s clinical ladder and continuing education to advance into specialist roles or management, such as occupational therapy supervisors or clinical specialists. Tuition reimbursement supports advanced certifications, opening doors to leadership or consultant positions within rehabilitation services.
Select Medical emphasizes wellness by offering generous PTO, paid sick leave, and comprehensive health plans. Their programs focus on reducing burnout while promoting professional growth, making it easier for therapists to balance demanding inpatient schedules with personal well-being.
Select Medical’s affiliation with HonorHealth Rehabilitation Hospital provides access to diverse inpatient cases and a strong mentorship culture. Their structured orientation, clinical ladder, and debt assistance set them apart, creating a nurturing environment unique to their Gilbert and Scottsdale facilities.
The starting salary of $87,360 aligns competitively with Arizona’s median for occupational therapists, reflecting the inpatient rehab specialization and cost of living in Gilbert. Additional incentives like a $10,000 sign-on bonus further enhance total compensation relative to regional norms.
Therapists encounter complex cases involving brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, neurological disorders, amputations, and orthopedic recovery. This broad clinical exposure demands adaptable treatment planning aimed at restoring functional independence and community reintegration.
Such informal gatherings provide rare chances to connect with peers and leadership across Select Medical’s specialty hospitals. Networking facilitates knowledge exchange, mentorship opportunities, and can open doors to specialized roles or collaborative projects within Arizona’s rehabilitation community.
