Why TravCon Matters for Recruiters & Clinicians with TNAA | TotalMed

Author: TravCon: The Travelers Conference September 13, 2025 Duration: 24:44

TravCon is often called the traveler’s conference—but it’s just as valuable for recruiters. In this episode, I sit down with Scott Sutarik, an Allied Health Recruiter with TotalMed who’s spent nearly a decade in the industry and attended TravCon six times.


We talk about what makes TravCon unique, why face-to-face connections are so powerful in a virtual industry, and how the event bridges the gap between recruiters and clinicians. You’ll also hear insider tips for first-time attendees, favorite TravCon memories, and what keeps both sides of the travel healthcare world coming back year after year.


Whether you’re a recruiter, clinician, or just curious about the travel healthcare community, this conversation is packed with insights, stories, and reasons why TravCon is the place to be.
