Licensed in another state?
Mississippi issues and accepts OT Compact privileges: an occupational therapist or OT assistant whose home state is a member can take this job on a compact privilege instead of a Mississippi license. (Occupational Therapy Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Mississippi license, apply to the Mississippi State Department of Health, Professional Licensure Bureau for a license by endorsement ($250, by its own page): what Mississippi asks. Every state's OT Compact status.
