A former Physical Therapy Assistant has been using Physical Therapists personal information to apply for jobs in North Carolina. She was hired by a competitor (who thought she was a Physical Therapist) for travel physical therapy jobs between August 4-22nd in western North Carolina. She has since surrendered her PTA license and is seeking professional help. See more info here. 

It's a scary proposition. But it shows why credentialing is so important. If you're applying for traveling therapy jobs at MDI Medical, keep in mind that our credentialing process is strict for good reason. 

If you're a client or a hiring manager, PLEASE check photo ID and licensure when meeting any new employee. We credential our Physical Therapists well. We verify licenses, check photo IDs, and run comprehensive background checks; however, we need your help in ensuring the person who's standing in front of you is the same person who passed our credentialing checks.
