The market

How many occupational therapists work in Hawaii

356 occupational therapists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Hawaii, 24.8 per 100,000 residents, and 24 new ones enrolled in the last twelve months. A high wage with few clinicians per capita usually means employers are competing for people; a low one in a crowded market means the opposite.

Licensed in another state?
