You earned your OT degree to help people live independently, not to spend half your workday typing treatment notes that nobody reads.
Occupational therapists face a documentation crisis. Between daily treatment notes, evaluation reports, progress summaries, home exercise programs, prior authorizations, and discharge planning, the writing consumes as much time as the treatment. Most OTs document during lunch, after hours, or on weekends just to keep up. And the notes keep getting longer because insurance companies demand more justification for every session.
The OTs who are finishing their documentation during work hours aren't seeing fewer patients. They're using AI to draft treatment notes, create home programs, write evaluation reports, and handle the insurance paperwork that eats their evenings. AI doesn't evaluate patients or design treatment plans. It handles the writing so you can focus on the clinical work that matters.
This course teaches you how to use AI for the specific documentation and communication tasks that slow down OT practice. You'll learn to write notes faster, create patient materials on demand, draft insurance letters that get approved, and build therapeutic resources without starting from scratch. No tech background needed.

"I wanted to share my appreciation for the recent AI course. I found the training extremely informative and it gave me a much deeper understanding of how AI works and how it can support our claims processes."
"Occupational therapists spend an estimated a significant share of their working time on documentation, with many reporting that paperwork is the primary driver of burnout and job dissatisfaction."
Research on OT workload shows that documentation demands have increased steadily over the past decade as insurance requirements have grown more complex. Therapists who reduce their documentation time report higher job satisfaction and better patient outcomes.
