If you've worked at least one travel or local contract rehab therapy assignment, whether it's physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, you're familiar with the documentation you need in order to work allied health jobs. What many rehab professionals may not know, however, is that medical staffing firms like MDI Medical are required to be just as thorough as any hospital that employs therapists, and are held to the same stringent guidelines. As such, it is important to submit your completed paperwork as early in the process as possible. Background checks and drug screens can take several business days, and some facilities require your file up to a week before you can start working rehabilitation jobs.
Gathering all of this documentation and keeping it current isn't a big deal, particularly if you start the process early and leverage your recruiter for help. In this article, we offer you some insight and a few resources to help you gather and consistently update your 'schtuff' so that you can be ready to take that sweet new assignment on a moment's notice.
You can access the entire article at the link above, but I'll also post some snippets of it here over the coming days & weeks.
Safe travels,
