WHAT ARE OUR PROVIDERS SAYING ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PROFESSIONAL GROWTH?
PHYSICIAN TESTIMONIALS
“It is always useful to see how other people do things and have solved common issues.”
“While doing locums work is a way of winding down my 50 year career in medicine, I am still learning new things from colleagues and hospital staff in new places. Even old dogs can learn new tricks!”
“Optimize work based on what I want to practice, location, setting and procedural control.”
APP TESTIMONIALS
“There are different resources at different facilities, and often you have to think outside the box. Staff at new facilities are often familiar with their routine ways to approach certain problems, and often share their experience, knowledge and opinion which may be a new way to manage a certain condition or patient encounter.”
“Locum Tenens work helps you learn new skills. Teaches you to be flexible and adaptable.”
WHAT ARE OUR PROVIDERS SAYING ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EXTRA INCOME?
PHYSICIAN TESTIMONIALS
“Recently my employer left the hospital I worked as a hospitalist. I had to make a choice between a period of unemployment and signing a contract that I was not comfortable with. Luckily, I was able to secure a Locum Tenens assignment near where I lived. This assignment gave me time to look for a new job that aligned better with my career goals. Without the ability to work Locum Tenens, I would have been stuck at a place I didn’t want to be.”
“Wonderful connection to other employers to make additional income in the evenings or weekends.”
APP TESTIMONIALS
“My income has quadrupled since transitioning to Locums.”
“Paid off my student loans.”
“Picking up last minute gigs can be very lucrative. If you are flexible, you can make lots of money. Have been hired and on a plane within 48 hours, and got a bonus for doing that too. Being flexible and always ready to go can really help you financially.”
