Frequently asked questions
Physical Therapists in ortho/oncology require proficiency in musculoskeletal rehabilitation combined with knowledge of oncology-specific complications. Skills like edema management, pain control, and tailored exercise prescription to improve mobility while considering cancer treatment side effects are essential for delivering effective patient-centered care.
Unlike general outpatient PTs, those specializing in ortho/oncology integrate cancer rehabilitation principles with orthopedic care. This includes managing treatment-induced impairments, collaborating closely with oncologists, and focusing on quality-of-life improvements for cancer survivors alongside traditional musculoskeletal recovery.
Tucson's growing healthcare environment offers expanding roles, especially in specialized oncology rehab. Physical Therapists can advance by gaining certifications, leading revital cancer rehabilitation initiatives, or transitioning into clinical leadership positions within outpatient and hospital-based settings.
Select Medical uniquely offers the revital oncology rehab program, focusing on comprehensive cancer care integration. Therapists benefit from specialized training, supportive mentorship, and a multidisciplinary team environment that fosters career development and cutting-edge clinical practice in ortho/oncology.
Select Medical offers an attractive student loan repayment program, providing up to $350 monthly assistance. This benefit helps alleviate financial burdens, making it easier for Physical Therapists, especially recent graduates, to focus on delivering quality outpatient ortho/oncology care without overwhelming debt stress.
At Select Medical in Tucson, starting salaries for Physical Therapists in ortho/oncology begin at $76,000 annually, with potential increases based on experience. Additional incentives like bonuses and loan repayment programs enhance total compensation, reflecting the specialized expertise required.
While state licensure in Arizona is mandatory, certifications in oncology rehabilitation, oncology-specific exercise training, or advanced orthopedic manual therapy are valued. Tucson employers seek therapists with credentials that demonstrate specialized skills in cancer patient management within outpatient settings.
The Tucson region shows moderate demand for specialized PTs, especially in oncology rehab due to aging demographics and cancer survivorship growth. Select Medical’s dedicated revital program provides a competitive edge for therapists seeking niche roles, though candidates with oncology experience are favored.
Therapists typically work full-time Monday through Friday, with options for four 10-hour shifts. The caseload primarily involves orthopedic patients, with growing oncology rehab responsibilities, allowing a balanced schedule focused on patient-centered multidisciplinary care in an outpatient clinic.
The revital program equips therapists with specialized oncology rehab education, fostering expertise in cancer-related functional recovery. It supports collaboration with oncologists and offers unique clinical advancement opportunities, empowering therapists to deliver innovative, patient-focused rehabilitation in Tucson’s healthcare landscape.
