Something Old, Something New

This just in…Healthcare Traveler (HT) is adding several new columns and departments to its print publication!

There will be an additional news section devoted entirely to those of you who are traveling rehab professionals. We also have a social networking department in the works and another that will bring you the latest on apps, sites, and technology to enhance your journeys. We’re even working on one that centers on your downtime.

What’s more, we are reintroducing a few of the tried-and-true, like Starter’s Kit, which covers the fundamentals of healthcare travel, and Travel Tips, to provide you with further resources and suggestions for success on the road.

You Said It, A Thousand Words, and In the Bag (formerly It’s in the Bag) are also making a comeback. As some of you may recall, your participation is essential to these three offerings. And to show our appreciation, if your contribution is used, you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25.00 Amazon gift card. To participate, you have to be a current healthcare traveler; to reacquaint you, here’s a quick overview of each.

You Said It: This column includes personal responses to a question posed by HT. Currently, we want to know: What is the best tip you ever received from an experienced healthcare traveler? Please e-mail your answers to me at bharrison@advanstar.com. If we publish your response, you will automatically be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card.

A Thousand Words: If you’ve taken a beautiful, funny, or heartwarming photo on the way to an assignment location/within your assignment community, we’d love to see it! As an example, here’s one that I took earlier this month on my way from New York to Cleveland…

This terminal was for the birds!

For consideration, e-mail your high-resolution photo to me at bharrison@advanstar.com and include a little background information, such as where the photo was taken and what it features, etc. If we publish your image, you’ll be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card.

In the Bag: When packing for a new assignment, what are some of your must-have items, the things you’d never leave home without? If you – and some of your stuff – would like to be highlighted in this department, please contact me at bharrison@advanstar.com. If you are featured, we will not only need your photo but may also request pictures of a few of the things you take, like a travel necessity or favorite object, and a little background info. And if you are selected for this department, you will automatically be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card.

Participating is super easy and a lot of fun. If you have any questions or would like additional information, just drop me a line. I look forward to hearing from you!

Happy travels,

Bobbi
