Job Description
Embark on a dynamic Travel Physical Therapist opportunity in Maryland, Lanham, where your expertise helps patients regain mobility, restore independence, and reclaim confidence. In this multi-week assignment, you’ll apply evidence‑based evaluation and treatment techniques, craft individualized plans, and lead patients through therapeutic activities that translate to real‑world function. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and rehab teammates, turning complex cases into clear, achievable steps. This role is more than a job; it’s a chance to shape stories of recovery across diverse clinical settings while you experience the vibrancy of Maryland’s communities and landscapes. Lanham’s proximity to the nation’s capital means you’re never far from cultural experiences, outdoor vistas, and a network of professionals eager to grow alongside you. Maryland itself offers serene bay shores, historic towns, and lush parks—perfect for refreshing weekend explorations between assignments and fueling your professional energy.
Lanham sits in the heart of the D.C. metro area, offering convenient access to museums, dining, and vibrant neighborhoods, while still granting the balance of a community feel. The state’s varied environments—from the calm of the Chesapeake Bay to the wooded trails along the Potomac—provide a stimulating backdrop for a travel PT who values both professional challenge and personal renewal. The travel framework also opens doors to select facilities across the country, expanding your clinical exposure, refining techniques, and building a durable professional network. You’ll benefit from a program designed to support mobility, continuous learning, and meaningful patient impact, all while cultivating resilience through travel and new community connections.
Key responsibilities include conducting comprehensive PT evaluations, developing and updating individualized care plans, administering manual therapy and therapeutic modalities, and using outcome measures to track progress. You’ll provide patient education, discharge planning, and proactive collaboration with the broader care team to ensure seamless transitions home. The role offers clear opportunities for professional advancement within pediatric, orthopedic, or neurological rehab, depending on site needs and your interests, with access to continuing education and potential specialty pathways. Competitive compensation includes a weekly pay range of $2,141 to $2,333, reflecting experience and location, with guaranteed hours of 35 per week. Multi‑week assignments provide consistency that supports planning and life balance on the road. Housing assistance helps you locate comfortable, convenient accommodations near your assignment, while a bonus program and extension opportunities allow you to tailor the length of your placement to your career goals. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support, including 24/7 access to experienced colleagues and coordinators who are ready to assist as you navigate new facilities, patient populations, and travel logistics.
Our company is built on empowering clinicians, prioritizing career development, and fostering a supportive work environment. We believe growth comes from mentorship, exposure to diverse patient populations, and a culture that puts your well‑being and professional progress at the forefront. Expect leadership that listens, colleagues who collaborate, and a framework that recognizes initiative, evidence‑based practice, and compassionate care. We’re committed to helping you expand your scope, refine your expertise, and accelerate your trajectory within physical therapy.
