Janet Yi, OTR/L, MSOT

Janet Yi has practiced occupational therapy for the past five years. Raised in the Puget Sound area and a UW alumna, she recently returned to Seattle after five years living in the UK, an experience that broadened her perspective on healthcare systems and patient care across different contexts. With a clinical background spanning acute care and outpatient hand therapy, Janet is ready for her next challenge in joining the Division of OT as the 2026–2027 hand therapy fellow. The fellowship offers the ideal blend of clinical, educational, and teaching experience, bringing her one step closer to becoming a Certified Hand Therapist.
