Hey guys and gals, I have been traveling now for over 3 years. Being single, wanting experience in every setting possible and living in different locations to scratch my traveling itch, all make the traveling life amazingly fulfilling, professionally and personally.

However, through my own experiences and talking with other travelers, one thing became very clear: the current set-up of the industry is very slanted towards the companies benefit, at the expense of your informed choices. We really do not have a good way of knowing what situation we are going in to, unless we have had a friend work at the facility, or its close to home. I, literally, drove across the country with the *hope* that my assignment was going to be exactly what my company and my 10 minute interview with the facility had alluded to.

So, I have started a website, solely for traveling therapists (PT, OT and SLP), which will hopefully right the ship, and tilt the information in our favor. It aims to provide details and rankings on companies, recruiters, facilities, etc. so that if you are in Florida and wanting to travel to Seattle, you can check out previous therapists rankings of the area, the job, the leadership... all the way down to the specifics of the benefits of the various companies that can place you there.

So, if you are a traveler, or are wanting to travel professionally, please check out

http://www.medtravelerclub.com/

Joining is easy and contributing to the database takes no time at all.  Afterwards, the cummulative knowledge and experiences of our travelers will be at your disposal, leading to better, more informed choices about all of your traveling assignments and career path.

The site itself is nascent, but the membership is growing, and therefore, the accumulated knowledge in this very rewarding part of therapy is as well. Join us in sharing your knowledge and experiences from your past travel assignments, and use the "collective" to make a better choice for your next one.

Thanks,

Jason
