Overview

Allied Health Staffing covers firms placing radiology and imaging technicians, physical and occupational therapists, pharmacists, lab technologists, and other allied-health professionals. These roles face their own shortages, supporting steady, diversified demand across hospital and outpatient settings.

Allied-health staffing is less rate-volatile than travel nursing and benefits from the breadth of specialties and the growth of outpatient care. It is a fragmented market consolidating around scaled, multi-specialty staffing platforms.
