About the Role
We are looking for a Physical Therapist to serve as our Virtual Occupational Health Physical Therapist (Evaluation-Only), supporting employer-partner populations across the full spectrum of job types, from large-scale industrial and warehouse/fulfillment roles to corporate and office-based staff, with single-encounter, virtual musculoskeletal evaluations. This role is built around two core outcomes: routing every employee to the right next-step care pathway, and clearly characterizing the disabling condition to support the accommodation process. The evaluating PT assesses the employee's presentation, determines work-relatedness and injury severity, identifies red and yellow flags, and then translates that assessment into (1) a specific care pathway decision and (2) a clear clinical description of the employee's functional limitations, which the employer's accommodation team uses to determine and implement any duty modification. The PT does not make the accommodation decision itself; the role is to provide the clinical basis the accommodation team needs to act on. This individual will not carry a treatment caseload; instead, they hand off every case to the appropriate downstream pathway (self-directed home program, virtual PT episode of care, in-person specialist referral, or workers' compensation coordination) and close the loop with Care Coordinators. He or she will report to the VP of Care Delivery.
What You'll Do
Conduct single-visit virtual evaluations for employees reporting work-related musculoskeletal symptoms, across a broad range of job types (physically demanding/industrial roles as well as sedentary/office-based roles), using a structured subjective history and virtual objective exam.
Apply strong clinical reasoning to determine work-relatedness, injury acuity, and appropriate level of care within a virtual, evaluation-only model.
Determine and initiate the correct next-step care pathway for every case (self-directed home program, virtual PT episode of care, in-person specialist referral, or workers' compensation coordination), making this routing decision the central output of the visit.
Clearly characterize the disabling condition and resulting functional limitations through the clinical exam, and communicate findings to the employer's accommodation team to support their duty-modification decision, tailored to the physical demands of the employee's role (lifting/repetitive motion in an industrial setting or posture/ergonomics at a workstation).
Identify red and yellow flags requiring urgent medical escalation and route accordingly.
Generate concise, defensible documentation to support workplace accommodation requests, injury reporting, and payer or employer review.
Communicate and coordinate with patients, Care Coordinators, and employer or payer partners to ensure a clean handoff and continuity across the episode, including direct communication with the employer partner's accommodation team member as needed to clarify findings or functional limitations.
Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation in accordance with regulatory, payer, and organizational requirements.
Adhere to established clinical protocols, escalation pathways, and quality standards within a value-based, occupational health care environment.
Required Qualifications
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from a CAPTE-accredited program.
Active, unrestricted physical therapy license in the state(s) where care will be delivered; PT Compact State licensure strongly preferred.
Minimum of 3 years of clinical experience, with preference for 5 years.
Strong clinical reasoning skills and comfort making rapid, single-encounter evaluation and disposition decisions.
Comfort practicing in a virtual/digital care delivery model, including remote evaluations and video-based patient education.
Working knowledge of workplace accommodation, duty-modification, or return-to-work documentation.
Preferred Qualifications
Primary residence in a PT Compact member state with an active home-state license in good standing, allowing quick acquisition of Compact Privileges in other member states as needed.
Experience in occupational health, industrial/workplace injury evaluation, or work conditioning.
Experience evaluating both industrial/physically demanding roles and office/sedentary roles.
Prior experience supporting an employer-partner or workers' compensation population.
APTA specialist certification (e.g., OCS, SCS).
Familiarity with functional capacity evaluation, ergonomics, or ADA/accommodation processes.
Experience delivering care in virtual or digital health/telehealth-based models.
Experience working in interdisciplinary or integrated care teams alongside medical providers.
