Market context
Per diem physical therapist roles in California are commonly driven by coverage needs in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and pediatric settings, so schedules can change with patient volume and staffing gaps. These roles are competitive because employers often want a current California license, a physical therapy degree, and pediatric experience preferred, while still considering new graduates.
