Travel Therapy Salary in Rhode Island
For a travel PT on contract in Rhode Island, the state has joined the PT Compact but is not issuing privileges yet (PT Compact Commission), so a travel PT needs a Rhode Island license for now. To find a contract there: see the open PT, OT and SLP jobs in Rhode Island or Find my next contract.

ProTherapy currently has 3 travel therapy openings in Rhode Island, which is too few in any one discipline to report a median. Advertised weekly rates on those assignments: travel PT 1 ($2,340–$2,340); travel PTA 1 ($1,820–$1,820); travel SLP 1 ($2,480–$2,480).
Because these are small counts, treat them as the range actually on offer in Rhode Island right now rather than as a settled rate for the state. For a figure with more assignments behind it, the national medians below cover every open ProTherapy contract in that discipline.
All figures are advertised weekly gross pay on ProTherapy travel contracts — the rate before taxes, inclusive of any housing and meal stipends in the package. They describe ProTherapy’s own open assignments, not a survey of the whole Rhode Island market, and they move as contracts fill. Updated 2026-10-05.
