The market

How many occupational therapists work in Oklahoma

957 occupational therapists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Oklahoma, 23.2 per 100,000 residents, and 61 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?

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