Comment on Five Problems and Solutions of Being a Contract 1099 Physical, Occupational, or Speech Therapist by Jason Mulholland

Hi Danny,
Great questions. I believe you have to start with LinkedIn, and your own website/blog to help establish yourself as an expert in your field and geographic region. LinkedIn will help tremendously with the marketing. LinkedIn can also function as your personal website, but it will not be as effective as your own personal website or blog.

To find facilities, you can scour the papers for therapist job ads, but your focus should be on long term relationships. If you develop relationships with facilities, and the people at those facilities, you will benefit. That process can be slow and painful, so I’d recommend doing that “on the side” until you can build up your business.

Thanks for stopping by. Let us know how it goes,

Jason

Very informative, its great to know that pta’s have a multitude of ways to earn a living.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for stopping by and for pointing out my typo in #5. I’ve updated the post! Please check out my other blog post – if you do, you’ll see that I 100% believe in the effects of Vital Stim…it’s just not the easiest for Speech Therapists to obtain for several reasons – like those listed above.

5) Success. If you want to be more successful and to achieve a better outcome for more of your patients, then becoming a VS Certified SLP is not for you.

What are you talking about? Success rates for patients have been through the roof for a decade. I will definitely get 30 sessions for Mom.

Comment on Reasons to become a Vital Stim Certified Speech Language Pathologist by 2012 MSHA Annual Meeting and Convention Review « metropolitanhealthstaffingnetwork

[...] Lastly, a couple of things to note. I eluded to this above, but I witnessed fewer students that were adamant about working in either a medical setting or a school setting. A big shift from the previous year. Another interest worthy of mentioning was Vital Stim. There was a bit more “buzz” about this treatment option this year – especially from the younger generations. More SLPs desire to become Vital Stim certified, but have not yet for several reasons. And deservingly so, but not because of their fault or lack of desire. See why here… [...]

Comment on How do our timesheets benefit the rehabilitation facilities we service? by Jason Mulholland

Jason Mulholland — Fri, 04 May 2012 19:04:18 +0000

Thanks for the comment. I agree that technology has come a long way and electronic timesheets are the way to go…for most. However, as a contract staffing company, some of our therapists submit hours, some submit visits. In either case, the facilities are those which we are contracted with, and are growing in number. The therapist may never be at the same location again… With web based timesheets, how would the facility be able to cross-check to ensure that all work has been satisfactorily completed?
