Okay, now that we have several City Spotlights under our belts, I wanted to take a moment to talk about those locations that aren't necessarily thriving metropolises. There are many physical and occupational therapy positions across the country right now, and some of theses allied health jobs are paying top dollar for therapists and assistants. I wanted to take a minute to discuss some of the best areas to find travel therapy jobs if you're looking to make top dollar.

Pennsylvania - When you think of the state of PA, the first thing that comes to mind is either Pittsburgh of Philly. While these are great cities, PA has a lot to offer for traveling physical therapists. Occupational therapy jobs are not as common in PA due to a large OT school in the state. However, central PA has several bonus positions (5000 for an assignment is common) of traveling PTs.

Texas - If you're considering a trip to longhorn country, think about your location. Southern TX is BOOMING right now with top dollar positions. Areas at the southernmost tip of TX and along the Mexican border are constantly looking for help. As with most areas across the country, physical therapy jobs are the most common, however, OT, SLP, and assistant jobs are here as well. Being close to the border offers you some great tourism opportunities, and most of the locations we have are a short drive to the beach!

Montana - Travel therapy jobs in MT are always highly competitive with the market. If you love the outdoors, MT is the perfect place for you. Physical therapists command top dollar in locations throughout the state. Occupational and speech therapists can also find great assignments in some of the larger towns. Whether it's whitewater rafting, hiking, skiing, camping, or any other outdoor activity, MT has lots of beautiful land to offer. Have some fun outside while making great pay!

Washington - Although Seattle will not be the highest paying location you can find int he Pacific northwest, the state of Washington has some great locations that offer excellent pay. Expect to see primarily physical therapy needs in the western half of the state, and physical and occupational therapy jobs in eastern WA. Washington's rich natural landscape offers a lot of great outdoor options, and the fishing is top notch!  Whether you like fly fishing for rainbow trout or fishing the coastal surf, WA is an ideal destination!

These are just a few of the states that we are experiencing needs in. If you are interested in finding out more about these options, call me today!
