Med Travelers Review

Med Travelers is an AMN Healthcare subsidiary focused specifically on allied health staffing, including therapy disciplines. They leverage AMN's extensive facility network and infrastructure while maintaining a separate brand identity. The AMN pros and cons largely apply: strong contract volume and benefits, lower pay transparency and take-home compared to boutique agencies.

Med Travelers was fine — got me placed quickly, benefits were solid, recruiter was knowledgeable about PT settings. Pay was $175/week lower than what I later got from ProTherapy for an equivalent assignment. Still a legitimate option for travelers who prioritize contract access over maximum pay.

Three contracts with Med Travelers. Consistent experience — not excellent, not bad. I was transferred to a new recruiter twice, which is my main frustration. When your preferences are known by one recruiter and then you have to re-explain everything, it costs real time.

The AMN infrastructure is apparent when you work with Med Travelers. Paperwork is organized, the technology works, but the personal touch is missing. Switched to a boutique agency and the experience difference was noticeable immediately.

My experience with Med Travelers has been above average. Recruiter has been the same person for two years, which I think is key. Contract volume in the Southeast is excellent for PTAs. Not the highest pay, but reliable.
