Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering for licensed physical therapists who want home-based clinical care within an interdisciplinary team. It is not a practical fit for clinicians seeking a non-clinical career pivot.

Who should apply

Licensed physical therapists, especially those with home health, geriatric, rehabilitation, mobility, or balance experience, who are comfortable with in-home visits and travel.

CV angle

Frame the CV around state PT licensure, CAPTE-accredited physical therapy training, in-home patient evaluations, individualized treatment plans, evidence-based mobility and balance interventions, re-examinations, discharge planning, caregiver education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Quantify caseload, outcomes, and safety or hospitalization-avoidance contributions only where real data exists.

Skills to highlight

  • Physical therapy evaluation
  • Home health care
  • Individualized treatment planning
  • Mobility and balance training
  • Discharge planning
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Patient and caregiver education
  • CPR
