I want out of the clinical setting of occupational therapy. What else can OTs get into that isn’t in the treatment setting? I am however a certified lymphedema therapist and would definitely consider a position treating only lymphedema patients. I’m having a hard time finding lymphedema positions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!:)

Have you looked into Home Modifications careers? You'd be able to work for yourself. You could also start a blog & get into writing about OT and therapy for lymphedema patients & their families or caretakers. You could partner with other OT bloggers, get podcast interviews, etc. It would be a great way to share your knowledge to help others. There's also home care for lymphedema patients. You'd have to market yourself with all of these options, but they would probably all be fulfilling and enjoyable for you.

I've had friends recently start business doing home lymphedema and also caregiver education and home modifications.

You can look into Home Health, skilled nursing or opening up your own business.

I am so surprised to hear you are having trouble finding a position treating only lymphedema patients! It was such a need for the hospital system I worked for and the 2 therapists that saw these patients were always booked solid. Have you reached out to any larger hospitals near you with cancer centers?

That being said- I’ve been working non-clinically for a year in O&P as a clinic manager. My only caution is not to jump entirely if you still enjoy treatment and are just burnt out. The grass is not always greener. I am glad I had the opportunity to build on my leadership skills but I truly miss the patient care aspect!

Insurance. One of my instructors left teaching for insurance. I think her job description is to determine if kids with special needs need OT.
