Job Summary

Massachusetts General Hospital Occupational Therapy Department is seeking a full-time aide for the outpatient occupational therapy and physical therapy department located on the hospital’s main campus. This position provides an excellent learning experience for any person considering a career in either physical therapy or occupational therapy in a supportive environment.
