I just need help with my resume. Can you help me?

Which companies hire PT/As, OT/As, and SLP/As into non-clinical roles?

We have a comprehensive list of these companies, with more added regularly, available exclusively to Non-Clinical 101 students as part of the course.

Should I keep my license active if I leave patient care?

Yes, you should 100% keep your license active, as many non-clinical roles require an active clinical license. That said, there are plenty of non-clinical roles that don’t require a license! So, if you want to have as many options available to you as possible, it’s best to keep your license.

I have started consulting! How should I price myself?

In Non-Clinical 101, we cover consulting as a career path AND have an additional bonus module all about positioning and pricing yourself as a consultant!

Where can I go for CEUs if I don’t want to do patient care anymore?

That’s a great question! We highly recommend MedBridge Education, as it’s the most comprehensive and offers the MOST non-clinical CEUs. Best of all, you can use our affiliate discount code TNCPT for 40% off a membership!

I want to be a blogger, like you! Where do I start?

You’re in luck! We teamed up with Chanda Jothen of Pink Oatmeal to create a comprehensive course called Therapy Blogging 101.

I can’t afford your courses! Can you help me anyway?

We offer many free resources, and you can find them linked at the top of this page.

Giving away our premium resources has one effect: the recipients do not use them. When you have skin in the game, you take action. We have priced our courses in a way that reflects their value, as well as the amount of time and energy you need to commit to making a real change in your career. Be sure to join our free email list, as you’ll be alerted when resources go on sale!

I’m a new grad! Can I land a non-clinical role?

Absolutely! In fact, you’re better qualified for some roles than others, simply because you have more recent exposure to things like boards (think NPTE prep companies) or the latest in digital media/marketing. Non-Clinical 101 covers which types of roles work best for each person’s background and experience.
