Vantaggi
Easy Job, do not need to be a good therapist to thrive in this setting, hands on is discouraged and documentation is easy and quick. Always have a MD or DO or PA or NP on staff so you have no real responsibilities and they do not expect much from therapy so you can kick the can if you want
Svantaggi
Workers compensation need I say more, no support from management at all, in fact they try to throw you under the bus if need be, have to deal with a lot of crap that you have no control of, work with not only other therapists and support staff and MDs and PAs, but also MAs and front office staff. Clinics are extremely busy and you have to see a lot of new patients without adequate time to see them. For some reason they think it is a priviledge to work here, but it is actually a much more stressful job than any other that I have had as a therapist in my whole career and you get much much less out of it. Patient's are essentially forced to come down to therapy, so it is as close to LTAC for outpatient therapy as you can be.
