PT training tends to be more structured. OT training often doesn’t have a protocol, it’s more about whether or not the patient is satisfied with your services and this is where your creativity jumps in

Both professions know the entire body in and out. Both are extremely helpful but OT has an additional area that we can dive into which is Mental health.

Good to see an OT and PT respecting each other’s fields. During my shadowing, PT and OT would consult each other to get the best of both worlds, but at my MOT program there is very little intermingling. Some say the PT’s have a superiority complex, but I think it’s just because either professional is more comfortable with their cohort. Great video!

@tamiroupp2075 Жыл бұрын
I’ve been in healthcare careers for over 30 years, and as an MSOTR for over 20. PT and OT are both valuable, both needed. I’ve worked in general and rehab hospitals, state psych hospital, SNF-Rehab, out patient clinics, and home health. Not in schools. That said, from my experiences, I think PTs have higher pay rates, greater demand for their services, and a more “succinct” way of defining their clinical role to patients and the community - including to our cohorts like MDs and nurses! I’ve got 9 years under my belt as a home health OT. My treatment time with patients is longer and more involved than the PTs I’ve worked with. They can see 30-40 folks in a week, to my 20-25. And since we’re paid “per visit”, and I often have an even smaller caseload, the PTs are earning much more than me.
@marvynluna36378 ай бұрын
OTs are greatly needed in hospitals because hospitals know OTs are versatile but they SCAM them by paying them lower when it should be higher or same. Either way the hospital is making alot from both therapists and paying them pennies. OTs that worked over 20 years know this. The PTs are paid but the hospitals really need OTs for some reason we still cant comprehend but the OTs now get paid around $40-45 an hour. Outpatient rn market is $37 minimum (still low because 15 years ago when a bunch of the OTs i worked with were paid 36). Home Health is around $50-55.

Hey man, this was a great and comprehensive video you did and I appreciate this info a lot.

They too deal with patients one on one for one hour straight ranging from ages I've seen 29 to 95 so far. MY QUESTION FOR YOU: She mentioned starting salary was about 38-40 dollars an hour but you mentioned the average a PT makes, not starting salary. What would be a starting salary for PT?

You make PT sound way better plus it seems like pt. pays more, I want to work at a school or clinic maybe home care only because of the one on one, there was a lot I do not like as doing home care in the past plus I hear if you go for the whole thing and become a PT you can blackly be more like the R.N. not like a lpn and have to what ot have less they can scop , my goal is to work with schools , I have been a patient for pt for different things unfortunately and ot to strengthen my hand and learn how to write , and I saw my Dad go throw pt ot & speech therapy . it is a verry hared choice, to make it seems like pt is more saturated and way more schools, ota school would mean I would have to move two hours away, plus pay seems less and if I went past a pta or ota pta sounds better being you have to put a lot of money into it,I would not care so much about the money, but I have to work less hours and pay for college. and both can work in schools, but it is hard to see what is needed more.
