The first week of November is National Allied Health Professionals Week, and honors the contributions of therapists from coast to coast. To physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists in the U.S., therapist staffing agency, American Traveler Allied, says ‘Thank you, for the skill and high training you bring to your therapy jobs in all 50 states!’
Your healthcare staffing agency provides therapy career resources that help allied health professionals keep up with the extraordinary job gains predicted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, who, in 2006, predicted 4 million new health care jobs that are still on a steady climb—and forecasted to keep on growing until 2016!
For patients in need of rehabilitative care, there can be no greater contribution than sharing your talents as a therapist in a wide variety of healthcare settings that travel therapy jobs provide. Remember that allied healthcare professionals and the travel therapists among them constitute approximately 60% of caregivers in American healthcare today—so make sure you get the word out about your large and invaluable presence in the medical community! Since travel therapists encounter many different people with an interest in what they do, be sure to sponsor an activity, like a pot-luck, sports game or raffle that generates proceeds and honors local therapists.
