Frequently

Asked Questions

What are the requirements to travel as a Med Tech?

01. Healthcare traveler requirements vary by facility and state. As a best practice, be sure your licenses and certifications are up to date before you apply. You may need to obtain an additional license specific to the state in which you plan to work. Medical Technologists with at least 2 years of on-the-job experience are positioned better for placement and will likely be more comfortable with the responsibilities.

How do I get started as a Traveling Med Tech?

02. You’ll want to first choose the healthcare staffing agency you want to work with, then apply for a job! LRS Healthcare recruiters will work with your requests and preferences to find you a travel job that pays well and matches your lifestyle and interests.

How much will I be paid to travel as a Med Tech?

03.Pay packages vary by experience, job, facility and agency. Sites and job boards that promote weekly pay either display the pay before or after taxes and include or exclude travel and housing stipends. These variables affect what your take-home pay could be and could potentially vary from the number promoted on the job post. To ensure complete accuracy, speak with your LRS Healthcare recruiter so we can review your personalized pay package with you in full transparency so you know what to expect on each pay stub.

How long are Med Tech travel assignments?

04. A standard MT travel assignment is 13 weeks. This time frame gives you an opportunity to learn the job, explore the city, and make new friends. No matter the length of your med tech travel assignment, if you’ve found a job (or city) you enjoy, you can always request an extension.
