How long are travel assignments?
Most assignments are eight weeks or 13 weeks, but we always try to customize the length of an assignment to meet your needs.
Can I be assigned in my hometown?

What are the chances I'll get the assignment I want?
Your chances are excellent. Even if we don't have your specific position in the location of your choice, we'll contact facilities in that area, present your credentials and search for assignments. We're not happy until you are.
I chose an assignment. Now what?
Your credentials, along with your selected start date, are sent to our client, the facility you've chosen. They, in turn, review your application and interview you via telephone. Your recruiter will prepare you for every step of the way.
When does my travel commitment begin?
Following the interview, you and the facility will determine if you're the right fit for the assignment. Your commitment begins only if and when you decide to accept the assignment.
Is there a minimum commitment duration?
No. You only commit to the length of the assignment you choose.
How should I prepare for my assignment?
Once you commit to an assignment, you will receive a confirmation package in the mail with all pertinent information about your assignment. Your recruiter will then work with you to prepare you for your assignment.
Will you inform me of the state licensing requirements for my assignment?
Your recruiter will inform you about the specific licensing requirements in the state of your assignment. For more information, visit our
medical licensure page. We're here to assist you and make this part of the process easy.
How do I get to my assignment?
Med Travelers recommends that, if traveling away from home, you should drive to your assignment. This gives you the freedom to explore a new area on your off days. If you accept an assignment in a major city, such as New York city, where parking is scarce and public transportation is readily available, consider leaving your car at home. Med Travelers reimburses the travel expenses to your assignment regardless of how you choose to get there.
Can I bring along a friend?
Absolutely. Share this journey by traveling with a colleague, spouse or close friend.
