Hi Michael,
This varies greatly depending on the setting you work in. I work in a pediatric therapy clinic and my hours run 8am-6pm. However, other settings like hospitals and skilled nursing facilities need to have staff 24/7.
On top of that, this will also vary depending on your position in the field. For example, a radiologist in a clinic may only work typical business hours, but a nurse in a hospital might work overnight.
What type of position are you interested in?
