Physical Therapist
Help rural patients in King City regain strength, mobility, and independence. Through Medefis you will deliver high-impact therapy in a community setting where every session measurably improves quality of life and keeps people out of the hospital. Your work matters here because skilled therapists are scarce and outcomes are visible every day.
Performance Objectives
- Complete comprehensive evaluations and establish measurable functional goals for 8–12 patients per day within the first 48 hours of referral.
- Deliver evidence-based interventions that enable 85% of patients to meet or exceed their primary mobility goals within 4–6 weeks.
- Reduce unplanned hospital readmissions among your caseload by coordinating timely home-exercise programs and family education.
- Document all treatments, progress, and outcomes in the EMR the same day so billing and care teams stay current.
- Mentor one PTA or student each quarter, raising team productivity and clinical consistency.
- Achieve patient-satisfaction scores of 4.7/5 or higher by adapting plans to cultural and language needs of the Salinas Valley community.
Environment & Resources
You report to the Rehabilitation Director and work alongside a compact interdisciplinary team (PT, OT, SLP, nursing). You will have full access to standard gym equipment, modalities, and an EMR; Medefis handles credentialing, payroll, and housing support so you can focus on patients. Typical assignment length is 13 weeks with extension options.
Essential Qualifications
- Current California PT license and BLS; ability to start within 30 days.
- Proven record of writing and achieving time-bound functional goals for orthopedic, neurologic, or geriatric caseloads.
- Comfort treating in both outpatient and skilled-nursing environments with limited specialist backup.
- Same-day documentation habit and willingness to use the facility EMR without extra training time.
- Spanish language skills or demonstrated success serving Latino patient populations preferred.
Role Selling Points
- Direct patient impact in an underserved agricultural community—your results are felt immediately.
- Medefis VMS streamlines compliance and pay; you spend time treating, not chasing paperwork.
- Flexible 13-week contracts with competitive travel packages and potential for long-term placement.
- Small-team autonomy: you shape the rehab program rather than follow a corporate protocol.
