Overview

Join to apply for the Physical Therapist Burn Unit PRN role at LCMC Health
.

Your job is more than a job. As a physical therapist, no two days and no two patients are alike. You champion multiple patients as they begin their physical rehabilitation journey. Whether it’s a neurological issue or a physical trauma, you encourage, comfort, and ready your patients for therapy, interacting with physicians, case managers, nurses, and families as part of a team care approach.

You celebrate the ordinary, because in the world of rehabilitation, just the act of taking a few steps may be an extraordinary milestone for your patient. We provide tangible and intangible resources to foster the “little something extras” you need to amplify your impact and grow your expertise. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality all add up to you.

And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical rehabilitation role.
