FAQ
What types of travel therapy specialties are available?
Fusion Medical Staffing offers travel assignments for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, certified occupational therapy assistants, and speech-language pathologists. Each specialty has opportunities across multiple settings including outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, acute care hospitals, school systems, and home health agencies.
What settings do travel therapy professionals work in?
Travel therapy professionals work in outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation centers, home health agencies, school-based programs, and pediatric specialty clinics. The setting variety is one of the biggest advantages of travel therapy -- you can explore different environments across assignments.
How do travel therapy assignments work?
Travel therapy assignments typically run 13 weeks. Your Fusion recruiter matches you with facilities based on your discipline, clinical experience, preferred settings, and desired locations. Fusion handles credentialing, licensing support, and housing coordination. You bring your clinical expertise; your recruiter handles the logistics.
Do travel therapy professionals get benefits?
Yes. Fusion Medical Staffing offers day one health insurance, competitive weekly pay packages, housing assistance, travel reimbursement, and one dedicated recruiter throughout your entire travel career. Benefits are available to all travel therapy professionals regardless of discipline or specialty, from your very first assignment.
Can I travel as a new grad therapist?
Most travel therapy positions prefer candidates with at least one to two years of clinical experience. However, some disciplines and settings may accept strong new graduates, especially those who completed clinical rotations in high-demand settings. Your recruiter can advise you on the best path to start your travel therapy career.
How does licensing work for travel therapists?
Travel therapy professionals need an active license in the state where they accept an assignment. Unlike nursing, there is currently no nationwide compact license for PT, OT, or SLP. Your Fusion recruiter and credentialing team can help you navigate state-specific licensing requirements and timelines for your discipline.
