Respiratory Therapist Traveler Team

Join the Adventure with Intermountain Health’s Internal Travel Program!

As part of Intermountain Health—a nonprofit organization committed to person‑centered care—our Internal Travel Program gives caregivers the chance to combine meaningful work with exciting new experiences.

Caregivers in the program enjoy dynamic travel assignments across the Intermountain Health system, spanning Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana. Each assignment is an 8‑14 week rotation, providing variety, professional growth, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in diverse communities.

If you’re working 50 miles or more from home, you may qualify for housing reimbursement. Reimbursable amounts are based on the assigned site location, and receipts must be submitted within 30 days of the transaction date.
