Let me be frank, there are several reasons that facilities take the supplemental staffing route but the most common reasons are going to be that these facilities are tough to staff. This could be the geographical location or quite simply the organization itself. In travel, you are expected, (as a clinician), to hit the ground running. This may be difficult as a new grad, so you may want to shoot for a temporary assignment that will have some senior guidance. Make sure that you work with a company and a recruiter that has your best interests at hand. Jessica,

What are some of the reasons they say it is not a good idea? Is it not being able to get a solid groundwork first? Or too much stress for a new PT? Just curious? Jessica,

Does it focus on any particular area of the brain ? Does it have a large effect on Down Syndrome patients in any way? If so, How? Thank You Hi ,

I have heard many mixed comments on traveling. Many professors have given me the impression that it is not a good idea and that I should get experience first. I want to know if you know of anyone or have heard any good responses from new grads starting right out with traveling. Or if you have any tips for choosing an assignment so that you know you will be in a good situation. I was very excited to begin traveling right away, but in the last few weeks have been met with skepticism by colleagues. Thanks!

]]> Comment on Speech Language Pathology Goes Remote by Robert, SLP http://www.alliedtravelcareers.com/blog/speech-language-pathology-goes-remote/comment-page-1#comment-221 Robert, SLP Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:48:54 +0000 http://www.alliedtravelcareers.com/blog/?p=357#comment-221 Thanks for this article! When I first heard about telepractice, I was dead-set against the idea. Now that I've seen the research on its effectiveness, I am much more open to it. As the technology involved continues to improve and to become more affordable, I think telepractice will become a more and more accepted and normal part of SLP service delivery. From my perspective as an SLP, the idea of working from a home office while providing high-quality therapy for children all around the world is certainly an intriguing one. Thanks for this article!
