Yes. It depends on how much medicine you want in your degree. You need a high school degree, a 4 year college degree, and post college education. Don't take online classes for this degree, it looks bad. You will then need a 4 year medical school degree and 2 - 3 year training after. Or you can get a masters (2 more years) or PhD (4 more years) instead of medical school.

You can expect to learn all about how to help recover patients from a disability. There are a variety of occupational therapy careers that include working with the elderly, sports injury related, and in home care.
