What is a Travel Program?
Nurses have been offered the opportunity to work in cities other than their own for over 10 years. Staffing agencies send nurses to the city of their choice to work for a specific amount of time and then they return home. We have based our program on this model and modified it for dental professionals. Now, for the first time, Dental Professionals have an opportunity to work temporarily in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland which has the highest paid salaries in the nation!

Who Are We and What Do We Do?
Team Placement Service, Inc., is a well-established dental and medical staffing agency that has served the Northern Virginia/DC Metropolitan area since 1983. We have now expanded to Baltimore Maryland.

Why Did We Create A Travel Program?
Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Baltimore Maryland has such a need for dental staff that we must bring people in from outside the region because we do not have the manpower to fill all of the job requests that we receive on a daily basis.

Highlights of the Program:

• 8, 12 or 16-week slots available. If you like, work for a period of time, go home, and come back for another slot of time
  
  
• You can earn up to $15,600 if you stay 16 weeks
  
  
• Free housing is provided
  
  
• Permanent jobs also available and pay up to $45/hour (housing not provided for permanent jobs)

Do I Need a License?
If you are a hygienist, yes, you must have a local license. TPS will let you know which licenses you will need to obtain once you have been accepted into the program. We are prepared to help you with this process. Once the necessary paperwork has been filed, licenses are typically issued in an expedient manner. Reciprocity is available for some states and most boards process applications within two weeks. Dental Assistants are required to be x-ray certified in our area or with the Dental Assistant National Board (DANB). TPS gives preference to Certified Dental Assistant.
