DPT / Doctor of Physical Therapy

Imagine a world where your everyday efforts could play a pivotal role in helping someone reclaim their independence after surgery or rediscover their voice after an illness. As a DPT / Doctor of Physical Therapy, you will not merely facilitate recovery; you will reignite hope and restore dignity during one of life's most delicate moments. And the best part? You'll do it in Lubbock, Texas - a place where professional satisfaction is harmoniously blended with a vibrant lifestyle that you'll absolutely adore. We invite you to become a part of our compassionate and adept team in Lubbock, a lively city that seamlessly balances clinical excellence with a welcoming community that inspires. If you're seeking to make a significant impact and bring transformative changes to people's lives, your opportunity is here. Your role as a DPT will involve evaluating patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, while crafting tailored treatment plans designed to meet each patient's unique needs. You will deliver physical therapy interventions aimed at improving mobility, strength, balance, and overall function, collaborating alongside nurses, physicians, case managers, and fellow rehab professionals to ensure optimal outcomes. Education and communication will be crucial in this role. You will have the opportunity to educate patients and their families on therapeutic goals, discharge planning, and home exercises, documenting evaluations and progress in alignment with facility guidelines and regulations. Moreover, your participation in care team rounds and interdisciplinary conferences will play a critical role in ensuring coordinated and comprehensive care. Candidates should possess a Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) or an equivalent degree from an accredited educational program, along with a valid state licensure as a Physical Therapist. Although CPR certification and specialized certifications in fields like geriatrics or neurology are preferred, they are not mandatory. Key attributes for this position include previous experience (ideally), the ability to address the complexities of medical and mobility issues, and a strong set of communication and teamwork skills. Familiarity with digital charting and clinical documentation systems will also be valuable. In return for your expertise and dedication, we're pleased to offer a competitive compensation package alongside comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance. Opportunities for continuous education and reimbursement for licensure renewals are available, as well as PTO and flexible scheduling. You'll also find a supportive team culture, fostering opportunities for clinical advancement. Each day you step into this role will be different, filled with meaningful interactions. You'll be the trusted guide to patients during the early stages of their recovery, whether that involves assisting someone in regaining their balance post-operation or coaching them as they take those crucial steps in post-stroke rehabilitation. This position is hands-on and heart-centered, requiring you to assess needs, develop and implement focused treatment strategies, while adjusting care protocols as patients progress on their journey to recovery. As a devoted member of a collaborative care team, your input will be invaluable in discharge planning and ensuring patients have safe transitions back to their homes. What we seek in you goes beyond just your professional qualifications. You exhibit an understanding that movement is a form of medicine, that kindness carries immense power, and that progress can manifest in multiple ways - from simply standing up to confidently walking again. We are on the lookout for a Physical Therapist who embodies clinical prowess, emotional intelligence, and adaptability within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
