Entry Level Travel Physical Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level travel physical therapist job?
Start by completing your DPT degree and passing the NPTE licensure exam, since most travel contracts require an active state license before day one. At the entry level, clinical rotation experience and strong references from supervising therapists carry significant weight. Applying to staffing agencies that place new grads, being open to multiple states, and holding at least one state license on compact or pending status will give you a real edge over candidates who limit their geography.
Which companies hire entry level travel physical therapists?
Companies hiring entry level travel physical therapists right now include H2 Health, ATI Physical Therapy, and Intuites, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from travel staffing agencies, regional hospital systems, and outpatient clinic networks that actively recruit new grads to fill short-term contract needs.
Are there remote entry level travel physical therapist jobs?
Yes, though most physical therapy roles require in-person patient care, a small share of positions involve telehealth or administrative components. About 44% of entry level travel physical therapist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who want any flexibility should filter specifically for those listings rather than assuming all travel PT roles are fully on-site.
Are these new grad travel physical therapist jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad travel physical therapist jobs or junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little to no post-licensure experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or internships toward that threshold, and does not require prior independent caseload management, making them the right starting point for anyone entering the field.
Which industries hire the most entry level travel physical therapists?
Entry Level travel physical therapist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Sports & Recreation, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they rely on rotating contract staff to meet patient volume, cover staffing gaps, and absorb seasonal demand without committing to permanent headcount.
