The Benefits of Becoming a Traveling Therapist

Have you ever considered becoming a traveling therapist?

MAS Medical Staffing specializes in travel therapy assignments. Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, and Assistants – PTA (Physical Therapist Assistant) and COTA (Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant) are all potential travel therapy jobs.

You may be asking what is a traveling therapist? The average travel therapist job lasts thirteen weeks. That means three months to experience living and working in another part of the country – from New York to Hawaii and anywhere in between. When your thirteen weeks are up, you can take off as much time as you like before taking on another contract.

So far so good, right? First, you’ll chat with one of our amazing travel therapy recruiters. They will give you a list of potential jobs that match your preferences. Depending on your discipline, you may need to apply for a new license in each state – but MAS will cover the expenses and aid you in submitting the paperwork. We want to make it as easy as possible for you.

You may be thinking – yikes. Moving will cost me more money, and having to find a new place to live every few months will take up a lot of my time. MAS Medical Staffing takes care of all that for you, too. We cover travel expenses and find you a place to live. Not only that – but we give you a weekly housing and food allowance.  Wait, it gets better. Generally, travel therapy pay is around the per diem rate for whatever area you choose, but only a certain percentage of your income is taxed.

Being a traveling therapist allows you to explore different professional settings and gain the best experience from different facilities, allowing you to expand your resume and become as proficient as therapists come.
