The Club for Travel Therapists
Travel Therapist Club is a free set of issues and guides for travel PTs, OTs and SLPs on pay, housing, contracts and life on the road, each taking a question travelers argue about, such as what makes a tax home or how a housing stipend is capped. It is published by ProTherapy Staffing, an agency owned and run by licensed physical therapists, and where a rule decides the answer an issue links the body that sets it, usually the IRS or the General Services Administration.
