Job Summary

Are you a licensed California Physical Therapist (PT) or Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) who excels at patient education, empathetic listening, and connection, but wants a break from heavy hands-on patient treatment?

Pelvic Path Physical Therapyโ„ข is seeking an articulate, warm, and professional Remote PT or PTA to conduct virtual Discovery & Intake Calls for prospective patients. You will serve as the welcoming, trusted first point of contactโ€”providing clinical education, addressing hesitations, explaining our care model, and guiding prospective patients to schedule their comprehensive 1-on-1 evaluation with our clinical team.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct Educational Discovery Calls: Host pre-scheduled, non-diagnostic virtual consultations with prospective patients to discuss how pelvic health physical therapy can help their concerns.

  • Authentic Patient Engagement: Utilize our core call frameworks as a foundation, while adapting language to fit your own conversational style and genuine clinical voiceโ€”no robotic sales scripts.

  • Patient Education & Triage: Provide accurate, high-level education regarding pelvic health care (pregnancy, postpartum, bowel/bladder, pelvic pain, post-surgical) while maintaining strict scope-of-practice boundaries.

  • Lead Engagement & Nurturing: Reconnect with past inquiries, cancellations, and warm leads via phone, email, and text to guide them toward care.

  • EMR & CRM Tracking: Accurately log call notes, patient concerns, and follow-ups in our EMR platform to ensure a seamless transition to the evaluating clinician.

Scope of Practice & Compliance Safeguards
  • This role is designed for patient education, practice navigation, and clinical triage.

  • No Diagnostic Evaluations: Staff in this role do not perform diagnostic evaluations, formulate plans of care, or provide individualized medical treatment during intake calls. All diagnostic evaluations are conducted in-person/1-on-1 by our evaluating Physical Therapists.

  • Supervision: PTAs operating in this role work under the direct oversight and direction of a licensed California Physical Therapist in full compliance with Physical Therapy Board of California guidelines.

Qualifications & Requirements
  • Licensure: Active, unrestricted California Physical Therapist (PT) or Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) License (Required).

  • Specialty Comfort: Comfortable discussing pelvic floor health (pregnancy/postpartum, bowel/bladder, pelvic pain, sexual wellness, post-prostatectomy) with warmth, empathy, and professional discretion.

  • Communication & Closing: Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to lead a caring, consultative conversation that helps hesitant callers commit to booking an evaluation.

  • Tech-Savvy: Proficient in navigating EMR systems, CRM tools, scheduling software, and Google Workspace.

  • Schedule: ~20 hours/week flexibility, with occasional evening availability based on patient booking trends.
