Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

This PRN role is at the Workman Sports Complex in Effingham. What kinds of outpatient OT patients have you treated, and which are you strongest with?

What they are checking: Whether their experience fits an outpatient sports and orthopedic setting and they are honest about gaps.

Tell me about a time you had to tell a referring physician or surgeon that a patient wasn't progressing as expected.

What they are checking: Whether they communicate concerns to physicians promptly and clearly instead of waiting for the next re-evaluation.

What makes you a good fit for a PRN schedule, and how do you stay current when you're not working every week?

What they are checking: Whether they can stay sharp and reliable without the rhythm of a full-time caseload.

What would you do

As a PRN therapist you may pick up another therapist's caseload for a day. How do you get up to speed on a patient you've never met?

What they are checking: Whether they review the plan of care carefully and keep treatment consistent instead of starting over.

A patient wants to get back to work or sport faster than you think is safe. How do you handle that?

What they are checking: Whether they can explain risk in plain terms and set goals that keep the patient motivated and safe.

What does your home exercise program look like for a patient with limited time and low motivation?

What they are checking: Whether they can make programs short and relevant enough that patients actually do them.

About the work

Walk me through your evaluation of a patient two weeks after a distal radius fracture repair.

What they are checking: Whether they know post-op upper extremity protocols, precautions, and how to measure function beyond range of motion.

How do you decide when to progress a hand or wrist patient from protected motion to strengthening?

What they are checking: Whether they respect tissue healing timelines and surgeon protocols while reading the patient's actual response.

How do you write outpatient goals that show measurable functional gains for insurance?

What they are checking: Whether they understand that documentation of function drives authorization and continued care.

The posting allows a candidate licensed in Wisconsin or authorized by IDFPR to obtain Illinois licensure within six months. Where are you in your licensure?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the licensing requirement and have a realistic plan to meet it.
