I wanted to do a blog about a part of the industry that I don't write about enough when discussing rehab jobs - speech therapy jobs.

You know from my blog a few days back that MBS is essential for SLP jobs in a hospital setting, so I won't get into that discussion again. What I really wanted to talk about was the market for SLP-CFYs.  Currently, it is very difficult to find a CFY position for a traveler. While we can under some circumstances find a position that would work for someone seeking a CFY, the clients that can utilize someone on their clinical fellowship would want a SLP traveler that would be flexible to a large portion of the country.....like half. :P

If you are a speech language pathology graduate that is thinking about travel, you might want to look into a good solid facility for your CFY before getting out on the road. Although the academic portion of your major has been fulfilled, you will still have questions and need training for this first year. If you know that traveling is right for you, ask yourself if you could handle working in a state like Maine for 3 months, then packing up and driving to TX for the next three, and so on. If the answer is yes, SLP travel is a good choice for you. If you want to stay in the same region, you might want to build a solid foundation during your CFY before spreading your wings.
