Here’s a glimpse of what they had to say:
“I have been able to explore other parts of this country as a result of the demand for work there.”
“All of my LT positions have been within driving distance from home. I did do one 13-week contract in Asheville, NC, which was a great location for the fall season.”
Licensed in 30+ states, I’ve worked in every region of the U.S. and in almost every clinical setting for which I’m educated, trained, and have experience in.”
“I love traveling to new areas for new assignments.”
“The ability to travel allowed for a variety of coverage from clinics to school-based clinics. I experienced a variety of EMR, appreciative staff, and saw supportive atmospheres where staff truly supported each other.”
These remarkable experiences are just a taste of the rich tapestry that locum tenens brings to physicians’ lives.
