2024 Survey of Locum Tenens Physicians and Advanced Practitioners
• More than once, I have opted for Locum Tenens employment pending the few months it takes to get credentials with a permanent employer. That is my current situation. • Please consider assignments with the Indian Health Service or other underserved communities as a personally and professionally enriching life experience
• There is great satisfaction in filling vacancies in primary care practices. I have found most providers, staff members, and patients to be grateful for my efforts on their behalf. • It can be very rewarding but know the dynamics of the location before you commit. Money is not the most important thing.
