Why there is no per-resident figure here
Nome has 8 registered licensed therapists and 3,653 residents, with little else nearby. That is what a rural service town looks like: the practices here take patients from across the surrounding county or region, and the population being served is far larger than the population living inside the town. Dividing one by the other would overstate how much is available to any one person.
There are 8 licensed therapists registered in Nome. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (6) and occupational therapist (2).
For a rural service town this is the pattern you want to see. It also means the list below is probably the list for a wide area rather than for Nome alone, so the practical question is less whether there is anyone here than how far you are willing to drive and whether the practice you want takes appointments by video.
Nome is the 15th largest concentration in Alaska by number of providers, accounting for 1.2% of the state total.
The mix here is unusually concentrated: physical therapist outnumber the next largest group by more than three to one. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training, so a lopsided mix usually says more about how Alaska licenses its providers than about what is available to you.
8 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 1,344 licensed therapists are registered across Alaska, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.
These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
