Travel allied overview

The allied health career field represents a diverse group of healthcare professionals that compose nearly 60% of the medical workforce, according to the Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions (ASAHP). Demand for this group has grown significantly in recent years, partially from the impact of COVID-19 but also from an aging population dealing with chronic illnesses requiring more medical services. As the demand for allied health professionals continues to grow, so will the opportunities for travelers to bridge the staffing gap for facilities across the country.
