We're in need of a PT traveler to join our team at Bakersfield Memorial Hospital after the New Year. A January 12 start date would be ideal, but we'd take whatever works. We need this PT to cover the hospital's Ortho Dept, which does require some later shifts (meaning certain days may start around 10:30 am and end around 6:30 pm). This PT would eval and treat all diagnoses, but would see elective Ortho patients for same-day surgeries 2-3 days per week. We have a full time, seasoned PT in this same program so the traveler PT would always have a partner working with them. 40 hours/week is guaranteed. If you have any candidates interested, please send them my way and we'll interview them asap.
