Maddie Landstrom is the outreach marketing manager at Fusion Medical Staffing helping new grads and first time travelers start their adventures in therapy jobs around the country. Don Briganti is the therapy manager at Fusion Medical Staffing and works with all travel therapists with their contracts. Rachel White is a 2019 DPT graduate from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and is a current #travelPT with Fusion Medical Staffing.
Maddie and Don dive into what travel therapy is and the current job market throughout the country. With COVID-19, the team has been creative to ensure interested therapists land a worthwhile travel contract. When traveling, therapists should consider these factors when considering travel PT such as licensing, housing, stipends, and pay packages.
Top reasons to a new grad should try travel PT:
- The experience
- Networking opportunities
- Variety of PT settings
- Mentorship program
- No long term commitment
- Building growth and confidence
