Travel Therapy Jobs in Illinois

Illinois does not participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact. Travel therapists must obtain an Illinois state license specific to their discipline before practicing in the state. Physical therapists need an Illinois PT license, occupational therapists require an Illinois OT license, and speech-language pathologists must hold an Illinois SLP license. Each discipline has its own licensing board and application process. Your Fusion recruiter can guide you through the specific licensing requirements for your therapy specialty and help ensure all credentials are in place before your assignment begins, making your transition to practice in Illinois as smooth as possible.

Illinois has travel therapy assignments across virtually every specialty in the therapy department. Your Fusion recruiter can help you find assignments in Illinois for your specific therapy specialty.

Travel therapy pay in Illinois varies by specialty, location, facility type, and experience level.
