FAQs – Travel Occupational Therapy Jobs Near St. Louis, MO

What certifications are required for travel Occupational Therapy jobs?
Facilities typically require current NBCOT certification as an Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR), along with BLS certification. You also need authorization to practice in the assignment’s state. Your recruiter can confirm exact requirements for this position.
How much experience do I need for a travel Occupational Therapy assignment?
Many travel OT assignments prefer at least one year of experience, ideally in the same setting as the job. Requirements vary, and some facilities consider therapists with less experience. Relevant skills include independently completing evaluations, developing treatment plans, and managing a daily caseload.
How does Missouri’s OT Compact status affect this travel contract?
Missouri’s OT Compact membership does not yet provide practice authority because the state is not currently accepting privilege applications. For this contract, an occupational therapist must use Missouri’s traditional licensing pathway and receive an active state license before beginning work. An existing license from another jurisdiction does not automatically transfer, and Compact membership alone is not legally sufficient. Confirm current fees, requirements, and application steps with the Missouri Board of Occupational Therapy.
