The market

How many occupational therapists work in New Hampshire

1,261 occupational therapists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in New Hampshire, 89.1 per 100,000 residents, and 32 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?

New Hampshire has enacted the OT Compact but is not yet issuing compact privileges, so occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants licensed elsewhere still need a New Hampshire license for now.
