What are the minimum requirements to become an Advanced Medical Healthcare Traveler?
To become a PT, PTA, OT, COTA or SLP Traveler, you must be a graduate of an accredited healthcare professional program in the United States or Canada. You will also need to provide a valid professional practice license or certification, and proof of the right to work in the United States.
How long will it take to approve my application and find an assignment?
This depends on you, you could begin your first assignment within one week, or four to six weeks. Some Travelers schedule their assignments three to five months in advance.
When should I start preparing for my assignment?
Again, this depends on you. Even if you're only curious about available assignments, send in your application now so you won't miss out on an assignment that might be ideal for you. Remember, there's never an obligation to travel after applying.
Am I under any obligation after submitting my application?
Absolutely not. Your application is simply used to qualify you for travel so that we're ready to match you with an assignment if and when you decide you're ready to go.
Following your telephone interview with the facility, you and the facility will decide if the assignment is right for you. There's no pressure or obligation for you to accept the assignment. Exciting travel begins only if you decide to accept the assignment.
What happens next?
Once you have decided on the assignment that's right for you, your Recruiter will confirm your start date, pay package, and benefits. You will then meet with our Housing Department to secure your corporate housing as well as with our Quality Assurance Department to create a JCAHO compliant file.
How do I get to my assignments?
It's best to drive to your assignment, since you'll want to explore your new surroundings and go sight seeing on your days off. If, however, you accept an assignment in a major city where parking is scarce and ample public transportation is readily available; you can elect an alternative transportation method. Regardless of how you choose to get to your assignment, we will provide you with a travel allowance.
What happens at the end of my assignment?
After you have completed your assignment, you will have the option to extend your assignment, travel to another exciting assignment, apply for a permanent position at the facility, or return home, perhaps to travel again at a later date.
