Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Physical Therapist, delivering high-impact rehabilitation across Albuquerque, New Mexico. This multi-week assignment invites you to apply evidence-based practice to diverse patient populations, guiding mobility, reducing pain, and restoring independence. Starting 03/23/2026 for a multi-week engagement, you’ll earn competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,380 to $2,532, with guaranteed 36.0 hours per week. The role offers the freedom of travel, giving you a platform to influence patient outcomes across multiple facilities while expanding your professional horizons. Beyond the clinic walls, you’ll discover a state of striking beauty and cultural richness—from the park-like desert scenery and sunset skies to the historic pueblos, vibrant arts, and the sweeping vistas of White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and the Jemez and Sandia ranges. Albuquerque blends urban energy with outdoor access, offering a dynamic backdrop for clinical excellence and personal discovery.
Location Benefits: Working in Albuquerque places you at the heart of a thriving healthcare ecosystem, with access to top hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialty centers. The city’s professional networks foster collaboration, mentorship, and continuing education opportunities that accelerate your clinical growth. The assignment also presents the possibility to work in other U.S. locations, enriching your portfolio with experiences in varied practice environments—from acute care corridors to outpatient rehab settings and community-based programs. You’ll benefit from reliable housing options, streamlined travel logistics, and a rhythm that supports a balanced lifestyle—daily clinical impact alongside opportunities to explore New Mexico’s remarkable landscapes, cuisines, and festivals. The region’s climate, cultural tapestry, and abundant outdoor recreation—hiking in the mountains, biking along scenic trails, or simply soaking in the sunshine—provide the energy that sustains you through demanding therapy sessions and hands-on patient education.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this Travel Physical Therapist role, you’ll perform comprehensive functional assessments, craft individualized treatment plans, and monitor patient progress toward meaningful goals. Your scope includes manual therapies, therapeutic exercises, gait training, balance work, assistive device education, and safe discharge planning. Documentation, compliance with regulatory standards, and communication with physicians, nurses, and other therapists will be integral to seamless care transitions. The assignment offers a pathway for professional growth within the physical therapy discipline, exposing you to orthopedic, neurological, cardiovascular, and pediatric populations depending on facility needs. The position is designed with competitive advantages: a bonus opportunity, housing assistance, and extension opportunities that recognize your value and provide long-term stability. We provide robust support across the entire travel lifecycle, including 24/7 traveler assistance, dedicated onboarding specialists, credentialing coordination, and clinical mentorship to ensure you feel confident wherever you practice. With guaranteed hours and a steady 36-hour week, you can plan with clarity while enjoying the variety of clinical cases that expand your expertise and confidence. Our network of clinical leaders and operations experts stays engaged, offering proactive problem-solving, resources, and encouragement every step of the way.
Company Values: Our company is anchored in empowering clinicians to grow, lead, and refine their craft. We foster an inclusive, collaborative culture where your clinical voice matters, mentorship is available, and transparent communication guides your decisions. We invest in your well-being and professional development, offering clear pathways for advancement, ongoing education opportunities, and a supportive environment that prioritizes patient safety and high-quality outcomes.
