The journey of a healthcare professional is one of constant giving, and for those who choose to become a Travel Healthcare Superhero, it's also a journey of extraordinary adventure and unparalleled growth. We recently had the honor of speaking with Kamola, a dedicated Physical Therapist who shared her inspiring origin story, her most meaningful moments, and the reasons why she decided to take her superpowers on the road with Anders Group. Her insights perfectly illustrate the unique and rewarding opportunities that await in this incredible career path.
The Calling: More Than Just a Job
Kamola’s decision to become a Physical Therapist was rooted in a deep desire to help people "get better, get back on their feet and make the lives of their caretakers much easier." This mission, common to many in the medical field, is amplified in travel healthcare, where you step into new roles to fill critical needs.
She recalls a powerful moment with a young patient in his early twenties who was paralyzed after spinal tumor surgery. Doctors had suggested a long-term goal of wheelchair management, but Kamola refused to stop pushing. “I didn’t wanna stop because he was very young. I kept pushing, I kept trying to walk with him anyway... He eventually left walking with a walker in couple of months, he left walking.
She helped a patient, paralyzed from the waist down after surgery, not only regain sitting and standing balance but eventually walk out of the facility, proving that determination and dedication can redefine what’s possible.
The Path to Travel Healthcare
After practicing for several years, Kamola felt her learning had started to plateau. This desire for new challenges and a broader professional perspective is the spark that ignites many a traveler's career. When asked what inspired her to become a Travel Healthcare Superhero, Kamola highlighted several key opportunities:
- Gain More Knowledge: The chance to learn new techniques and protocols from different facilities and explore diverse settings within her field.
- Explore the World & Meet New People: The ability to go out there, see new places, and build a network of new colleagues and friends across the country.
- Flexibility and Freedom: The professional autonomy and scheduling flexibility that is often a hallmark of travel assignments.
- Career Advancement: Stepping into different environments accelerates skill development and career experience far beyond what a single permanent position can offer.
