With the increase in the number of patients visiting healthcare facilities in the United States, the need for qualified medical professionals is steadily increasing. Professional therapists who are graduated in Physical therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Speech Language Pathology (SLP) are much sought after for the various vacancies existing in healthcare industries in the US.

To grab an opportunity in the field, candidates need to be a graduate in either of these disciplines and should ideally have adequate experience in the field. The salary and benefit packages provided by healthcare firms for therapists vary according to the experience and qualifications of candidates. Common benefits provided for professional therapists include:

-    401 tax savings plan
-    Health and life insurance
-    Section 125 Cafeteria plan
-    Professional liability insurance
-    Paid housing
-    Continuing education

Today, a number of medical staffing agencies are offering candidates various jobs in the therapy sector. They can greatly help candidates in getting their preferred healthcare jobs at their favorite locations. With both full time and part time therapist jobs available, ranging from assistant level to supervisory posts, these firms can greatly help your career reach more heights. Having tie-ups with major healthcare firms in the US, these recruitment agencies can instantly inform candidates whenever a vacancy arises in a firm.

With therapist vacancies existing in the private and public healthcare sectors, both locally trained and internationally trained candidates can easily get a job in the field. For international candidates, most recruitment agencies provide help in obtaining the necessary immigration clearance and work visa (H-1B visa), along with securing the necessary licensing applicable to individual states in the US. Upon achieving the necessary experience in the field, they can also help candidates get relocated to other states in the United States.

With therapy treatments now being offered in clinics, acute care centers, rehabilitation centers, educational institutions and private nursing homes, getting a job in any of these healthcare centers is not difficult. The excellent work environments existing in the healthcare industry in the US can greatly help candidates enhance their knowledge and experience in the field.
