Adventist Health Sonora
Mid Level
Step into a fulfilling journey as a Physical Therapist in Sonora, California, where your expertise can elevate patient outcomes while you connect with a community known for warmth, resilience, and a spirit of discovery. This multi-week assignment, set to begin on January 19, 2026, invites you to apply your clinical skill to a range of rehab needs, from musculoskeletal to post-surgical care, with a clear path to professional growth and meaningful impact. You’ll earn a competitive weekly pay of $2,441 to $2,539, reflecting the value you bring to our patient-centered teams. This opportunity is designed for practitioners who thrive on autonomy, collaboration, and outcomes that matter—delivering evidence-based care, refining treatment plans, and celebrating each patient’s progress along the road to independence. While the focus is on quality care, the experience also offers breadth: you’ll refine adaptive strategies across diverse cases, learn from seasoned mentors, and contribute to integrated care that united therapists, physicians, and support staff around a shared mission.
Location Benefits: Nestled in the Sierra foothills along the Tuolumne River, Sonora blends small-town charm with access to big-realm adventure. Working here means experiencing a climate that invites outdoor exploration—hiking, fishing, and scenic drives are close at hand, with Yosemite National Park and the broader Gold Country within easy reach for weekend excursions. The region’s healthcare networks provide robust community-based practice, enabling you to build meaningful relationships with patients and families you’ll serve over multi-week rotations. If you prefer to broaden your horizons, our program also presents the flexibility to place clinicians across multiple U.S. locations, expanding your professional footprint and enriching your portfolio with varied case mixes. Embrace a setting where work-life balance is respected, where your passions for restoration and mobility companion your dedication to patient care, and where the natural beauty of California enhances every shift.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Travel Physical Therapist, you’ll assess patients, design and implement individualized treatment plans, and guide interventions that restore mobility, reduce pain, and optimize functional performance. Your responsibilities include objective testing, manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, gait and balance training, pain modulation strategies, and progress documentation aligned with current standards of care. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless care transitions, discharge planning, and appropriate referrals, while documenting outcomes to demonstrate measurable progress. The role emphasizes professional growth—opportunities to expand specialty skills, pursue continuing education credits, and gain exposure to diverse clinical environments. In addition to a competitive weekly rate, you’ll receive housing assistance and the potential for contract extensions, enabling you to deepen your expertise across multiple settings. Acknowledging the realities of travel, you’ll have access to a 24/7 support system from our experienced travel teams to assist with housing, licensure, credentialing, and on-the-ground needs, ensuring you feel supported at every stage. Importantly, there are no guaranteed hours; your weekly schedule will be tailored to assignment demand, giving you the freedom to optimize your workflow while you deliver exceptional patient care. The blend of clinical autonomy with structured support creates a fertile ground for developing leadership, refining clinical reasoning, and shaping outcomes that resonate beyond each patient’s diagnosis.
Company Values: Our organization is anchored in empowering staff to grow within a culture that values curiosity, collaboration, and integrity. We invest in your career trajectory, offering mentorship, access to advanced training, and pathways to longer-term placements within a supportive network. Our goal is to nurture a respectful, inclusive environment where therapists feel heard, challenged, and celebrated for their contributions. By prioritizing open communication, reliable resources, and a focus on well-being, we foster a work atmosphere that sustains high performance, fosters trust, and keeps patient care at the center of every decision.
