Market context
Outpatient adult occupational therapy roles in Minnesota are typically driven by ongoing demand for rehabilitation services, especially in settings serving adults with mobility, self-care, and chronic-condition needs. This role is competitive because employers often prefer a Minnesota OT license, BLS certification, and experience in lymphedema therapy, while a master’s degree and NBCOT certification can strengthen an application.
