- 4x10s, Weekdays Only – Choose Mon–Thu or Tue–Fri; no weekends and major holidays off. Not on formal call; occasional inpatient need on a Friday evening may arise.
- Setting – Hospital clinic with four treatment rooms and a dedicated charting space (Athena + pre-doc).
- Deliver outpatient-focused PT (with some inpatient/SNF) across ortho, post-surgical, and general rehab; “see anything/everything” common to rural practice.
- Provide truly one-on-one care; coordinate closely with providers across the hospital and rural health clinic.

Qualifications:
- Education: Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT).
- Licensure: Active (or eligible) PT license. Colorado State Licensure or willingness to obtain.
- Experience: New grads and experienced clinicians welcome; strong support for continued training/certs.
- Fit: Mission-driven, community-minded clinician who enjoys broad rural practice and collaborative care.
Surrounding Area: Northwest Colorado
- Big-Sky Country Meets Canyon Country – Northwest Colorado blends open sagebrush valleys, red-rock canyons, and alpine mesas. You’re within easy reach of wild and scenic rivers, slot-canyon day trips, and high-country lakes
- Outdoor Playground – Weekends can include OHV rallies, single-track biking, sandstone rim hikes, paddle time on local reservoirs, blue-ribbon fishing, and winter sports in nearby mountain zones.
- Tight-Knit & Affordable – Small-town friendliness, community events, and a lower cost of living than larger resort corridors—without giving up the four-season Colorado lifestyle
