• PSLF eligible (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) through nonprofit hospital employer
• Manageable patient volume, 4 to 6 patients per day with 60 to 90 minute treatment sessions
• Roughly 6 contact hours per 8-hour shift, among the lowest productivity expectations in inpatient rehab
• Use of advanced rehabilitation technology and specialized neurological therapy equipment
• Private patient rooms and a recently renovated clinical space
• Tight-knit interdisciplinary team of experienced PTs, OTs, and SLPs
• Structured mentorship led by senior inpatient rehab clinicians

Schedule:

• Flexible morning start windows (8 AM to 9 AM)
• Generous sign-on bonus structured over a multi-year commitment
• Sign-on can be redirected to a student loan servicer if preferred
• Relocation assistance available (receipt-based)
• PSLF eligible through nonprofit hospital employer
• Annual merit increases up to 3% plus a Merit Plus performance bonus tied to hospital benchmarks
• Annual wellness program bonus up to $500
• CEU support (case-by-case, with emphasis on marketable certifications)
• 23 days paid time off
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

What We're Looking For:

• DPT or MPT from an accredited physical therapy program
• Active or pending applicable state PT license
• Acute care PTs with a relevant inpatient rotation will also be considered
• Clinically sharp with a big-picture perspective on patient care
• Strong communicator across clinical staff, patients, and families
• Collaborative, team-oriented clinician with a servant-leader mindset
