Hello!  I have been a traveling PT for about 4 years now.  I can tell you that traveling therapy is a very rewarding lifestyle, but has some very large headaches associated with it.  These headaches are so great that I actually created a website to try and address them.  Namely, the industry is set up where you HAVE to have a middle man, i.e. travel company, that is so obviously looking out for themselves and not you, that it makes you want to pull your hair out.  Thankfully, after some experience, you learn ways around this, or at least ways to minimize it, and the remainder is a wonderful professional choice.

http://www.medtravelerclub.com/     I hope will be the answer to all of your questions and actually will eliminate most of the headaches before even your first assignment.

It provides rankings and insights into the companies and facilities across the country that you might want to travel to, and ALL of the information is BY therapists FOR therapists.

Hope this helps!

Jason

I am a PTA student that will be graduating in May of '09.  I am very interested in traveling therapy.  If there are any traveling therapists that could give me some information on traveling I would really appreciate it.  My main question is how much experience do I have to have in order to travel?  Two companies said that they would hire a new graduate and two other companies said I would have to have a year of hospital experience first.  Also, what companies are "good" companies to work/travel for and what companies should I stay away from?  What should I expect from a travel company as far as benefits, pay and allowances?  ]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 20:55:19 +0000 http://www.cyberpt.com/ptforum/forum_posts.asp?TID=327&PID=343&title=traveling-therapy-jobs#343
