I have always believed that our reputation has been built on our ability to support our clients and therapists after the assignment starts.   This past week, one of MDI Medical’s long time physical therapists had some personal issues that required him to change his work schedule.  He and his wife, also a traveling physical therapist with MDI, have always done a wonderful job wherever they went.

Long story short, MDI Medical was able to work with the facility to meet their needs and also grant the request of our physical therapists by providing a unique work schedule.  Our MDI Medical team understands that therapists have a broad number of rehab jobs and comapnies to choose from - it is a real testament to our team that we are committed to supporting our therapists throughout their assignment.

If you're considering a traveling rehab job, please talk to one of our recruiters and let us show you how we can help you get the support you deserve.

We’re seeing an increased demand in our facilities wanting to fill their rehab jobs earlier than usual.  These have always existed in the more rural locations where it’s harder to attract travelers, but we are seeing a growing interest in our clients to book therapists in  metropolitan areas, including Chicago, IL; Atlanta, GA, Baltimore, MD; and FL to name a few. 

MDI Medical is working with our client facilities to understand their therapy travel needs in advance so we can offer our therapists a broader selection of assignments in the areas where they want to be.  In this competitive market for the good travel assignments, these jobs are filling quickly. Be sure to let your MDI Medical recruiter where you want to be next if you know in advance.
