How It Works For Facilities

Locum tenens is a strategic tool when it comes to hiring healthcare talent. Managing a medical staff, whether big or small, is complex and challenging. There are many situations during which healthcare facilities should take advantage of locum tenens staffing, such as:

• Urgent needs because of unexpected absences.  
• Vacation or illness coverage.  
• Leaves of absence (such as maternity leave or sabbatical leave).
• Stopgap coverage while recruiting a permanent physician, dentist, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner
• Supplementing existing staff during unanticipated or seasonal spikes in patient volume.
• Ramping up a new service line or facility
