How many older OTs are still practicing directly with patients? I’m 63yo and retiring May 21. OT did not attain licensure status in my state until 1990(5 yrs in to my practice). My license number is in the 200’s because when the licensure process started, I was 9 months pregnant and kinda busy, so I was one of the last OTs in my state to complete the application process. I knew most of the OTs in my state at that time because we were all involved in the legislative process to get our licensure passed. I don’t even know the OTs within a 50 mile radius of me now. I don’t personally know any OTs near my age or older who are seeing patients on a daily basis. Most of them are teaching or administrators. Are there any older OTs out there? Are you older and still practicing? Do you work with older OTs?
